    The Woodlands Art League offers a special interest group in Portraiture from Life.  This group meets weekly on Monday mornings from 9:30 to 12:30 with a live model.  Participants can use any medium they prefer, but we ask that no turpentine or other Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are used for health reasons.  Models sit in the same pose for the whole session (with breaks ) sometimes in costume.  We ask participants for a $10 model fee and a $5 studio fee to cover expenses per session.  Membership in WAL in expected but visitors are welcome any time.

    The WAL Wednesday Afternoon Portrait and Figure Group meets every Wednesday from 1:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the studio, 701 Sawdust Rd. The Woodlands, TX 77380.  Participants create a portrait or figure picture from a live model, in the same pose over the 3 hour session.  Participants may use any medium they would like, but we only allow odorless brush cleaners for health reasons.  You may bring your own easel or use one at the studio.  We encourage all participants to be WAL members. Attendance in this group requires a monthly commitment but the participants.  The small model fee is collected at the first session of the month from each participant which varies from month to month depending on the number of people attending.

    Oils Unveiled: Demystifying the medium

    Description:

    Shatter the mystique surrounding oil painting in this intensive three-day workshop led by award-winning artist Ernest Vincent Wood III. This workshop is designed for both novice and experienced representational painters seeking to enhance their skills in capturing what they see.

    During the workshop, participants will learn the 'art of seeing,' guided by Vincent's unique approach to oil painting. Through a series of exercises, a distinct blend of painting techniques, and candid discussions, students will strip away conventions and uncover their true creative potential.

    Participants will explore what makes subjects come to life: light, color harmonies, brushwork, and emphasis on shape and structure. From the humble still life to the challenging portrait, students will learn how to convey emotion and character through their paintings. One-on-one portfolio reviews will also be conducted.

    Whether you're a seasoned artist seeking to refine your passion or a newcomer eager to explore the medium of oils, this workshop promises to redefine your relationship with the canvas. Prepare to embark on a boundary-breaking journey where new possibilities emerge with every brushstroke.
