Description
Figurative Workshop with Costumed Model
with Beth Bathe
April 26
10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Students will have the opportunity to work on a dramatically lit model with period costume and props in a five-hour long pose. Work independently in the drawing/painting medium of your choice!
This workshop is designed to give students the opportunity to work from a live model, allowing you time to explore and experiment.
Beth uses water mixable oils in a limited palette and has a technique where she uses squeegees and paper towels along with her brushes in a reductive technique to create her painting. Beth will paint along for the first part of the day as a demo and students are welcome to watch and interact or artists may paint/draw for the whole session. This is an extraordinary opportunity for students to work from life. If you have taken one of Beth’s workshops this is an awesome class to practice what you have learned.
Students bring their own supplies/canvas/paper etc.
10-4 pm
Beth Bathe Bio: From Lancaster PA, Beth Bathe’s representational paintings have been described by art critics as “evoking nostalgia, like that of an old sepia toned photograph, often with just touches of color.” Curiosity about the medium Beth works is often the first question of many viewers. Is it watercolor, is it oil? Beth’s answer: “somewhat both.” She works with Water Mixable Oil Colors in a limited palette, using brushes and unconventional tools. Beth crisscrosses the country, painting en plein air and participates in over ten high-profile juried and invitation national competitions a year. She loves the travel and catching up with her artist friends who are often compared to “carnies”, traveling from competition to competition. Beth was a featured artist in the 2018 February/March issue of Plein Air Magazine and in the Dec/Jan 2021 issue in an article about water mixable oil paints.
