Instructor | Dominique Medici

Theme: Personal Project - Painting from Your Own Reference

Working from your own photos and ideas brings something no exercise can — personal meaning. In this workshop, you'll choose a subject you genuinely care about: a family member, a landscape, a still life, a mentor, or anything that excites you creatively.

Each session, Dominique Medici will demonstrate key aspects of the painting process; covering composition, value, color, edges, atmosphere, and focal point. You'll receive individual guidance and critique tailored to your goals, in a supportive environment where every skill level is welcome.

What you'll develop: stronger artistic decision-making, a clearer eye for what makes a subject compelling, and a more personal voice.
