Painting workshop is Aug. 10

The Oak Island Art Guild is sponsoring a painting workshop with Roger Tatum beginning at 9:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 10, at the Oak Island Recreation Center. The workshop is free and open to members and non-members. Walk-ins are welcome. Participants must be 18 years or older.
Tatum will show artists how to turn photo references into effective paintings. Find the essential elements in photo references and reduce them to simpler, more effective compositions and value patterns.
This will help participants paint more crisply and expressively, while using a minimum of pigments.
He will also conduct a demo from one of his photos he has converted to a reference sketch and value pattern.
Participants can use their own photo or paint from his.

All workshop programs receive support from the North Carolina Arts Council, an agency funded by the State of North Carolina and the National Endowment for the Arts.
