The Figure in Landscape Painting Workshop, Roseburg OR

The Figure in Landscape Painting with Yer Za Vue JULY 30 – 31, 2016 | 10:00AM – 4:00PM Workshop description coming soon! About Yer Za Vue: I ground my art through subject matter that inspires me. I work directly from real life, often painting spontaneously, wet on wet. Creating new works of art this way is challenging, but vital to achieving an energy and expressive quality that appeals to me aesthetically. Using form and shape, I decode and reorganize design in a way that creates harmonious interplay and the illusion of dimension. Abstracting and sacrificing form for the sake of design gives my paintings a unique look and style. View her work here. View Supply List $225 (Members) | $250 (Non-Members) SIGN UP ONLINE
