BOBBI DUNLOP - MASTERCLASS

“PAINT THE MODEL FROM A PHOTO”
~AS IF YOU’RE PAINTING FROM LIFE~-
 
A 1-DAY MASTERCLASS
 Saturday, Feb. 21st, 2026
9:30am - 4pm
Cost: on sale $120 (includes photo reference)

Note: All demonstrations will be done in oil.
 
Are you frustrated that your work is not reaching the level of
freshness and vitality that you’ve been striving for?
Are you frustrated by complicated teaching methods that require
that you constantly measure, taking the joy out of painting?
Methods that do not help you to understand what it is that’s
missing - which will help you to achieve the beauty you desire.
This exciting new 1-Day Masterclass is for you, the artist who is
serious about learning new concepts. New concepts that will
take your figurative work to
a new level of understanding - and show you how you can
achieve freshness & vitality in your work.
Would you also like to experience the “joy” of putting confident
brush marks on canvas ... without labouring over drawing and
measuring?
In this 1-Day Masterclass, artists who desire to bring ‘freshness
and life” to their figurative paintings will learn concepts and ideas
to simplify a complex figure (even from a photo!) and
Inspire you to create the paintings
you thought were beyond your reach.
We will touch on all the ‘simple ideas’ that Bobbi emphasizes in
her teaching: “logical ideas” ... the nuts and bolts necessary to
build a strong, beautiful painting; ideas that will help take the
mystery out of painting and add the magic you are seeking.
In the morning of this 1-Day Masterclass, Bobbi will begin with an
oil painting study/demonstration of our beautiful model, from a
reference photo (supplied). Artists will be free to ask questions
throughout, as Bobbi explains her process.
In the afternoon, artists will paint their own study/studies of our
model/photo, using the ideas and concepts learned from the
morning’s demonstration. The group will be small, there will be
plenty of hands-on guidance throughout.
Note: the emphasis of this Masterclass is NOT about
finishing a painting. However, it is about simplifying your
subject from the start and exploring possibilities (and the
abstract beauty of paint!) in order to bring freshness and
vitality to your painting, even when painting from a photo
reference.
All registrants will receive a supply list.
