**Workshop takes place Saturday & Sunday, December 18 & 19, 9am - 4pm** Work from a live model in this 2 day workshop and explore painting the figure in oil. While approaching figure painting in a gestural alla prima manner, we can train our eyes to quickly judge relationships in proportion, value and color. Work through logical steps to realize the three dimensional form of the model, while also focusing on structure and anatomy. There will be discussions on drawing, basic color theory, palette organization and paint application through demonstration and practice.

Grant, Andrew

Andrew Maurice Grant was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica and migrated to the United States an early age. Grant’s mother always had art in the home, which influences the way he approaches his own art to this day.

Grant’s subject matter is centered around women and depicting them in the most noble light, visually. His inspiration is women solely, as they have been the most consistent force in his life. Grant finds that representing women, especially black women, acts as a homage he is paying for the nurturing, generosity and kindness he has experienced all of his life. 

Throughout high school and college, Grant continued to hone his technique and had the opportunity to take Art History I and II, at the University of Central Florida. When reflecting on those years, he realized he had limited exposure to people producing the type of work and subject matter he now explores exclusively. With consistent research and study, he has since found communities near and far that hold representational art at the highest standard. Fortunately, he was able to study with Terry Traumbauer Norris and privately with Carol Broman in 2010 and 2011. Academic techniques were introduced to him and a high priority was placed on developing the skills necessary to bring a vision to life.
