CRITIQUE INFORMATION —

For those who join at the live option, I will be offering one-on-one email critiques (one painting per person) of a critique of your painting from the workshop! Paintings do not need to be done live during the workshop, and images of your painting you want critiqued can be email to me anytime after they are completed. Whether it’s the next day, week, or month! I will give a written critique, as well as a digital paint-over (with video time lapse). This is also a great option for anyone who wants a critique but cannot attend the live option, or would rather a critique off-camera.

Please send images of your painting once done to contact@tinafigarelli.com to get the critique. Please allow up to 2 weeks for my critique to be sent.

A four hour intensive workshop all about painting the feline form. We will cover the entire process of painting our beloved kitty friends. from choosing our reference images, to blocking in the drawing, to ensuring we capture the soft, fuzzy, feline spirit in our paintings.

Join artist Tina Figarelli as she goes about painting her cat, Zelda, discussing all about the secrets of painting our adorable feline friends. Topics covered in this online intensive workshop will be drawing, color mixing, mark making, hard and soft edges, details (like whiskers & hidden colors). Learn how to paint your own feline friend, and see how these techniques can also transfer over to painting other subjects (including other animals as well!)

We will be working from reference photos (which will also be provided so students can see what the artist works from), as well as a supply list with all the information on paints, brushes, mediums, panels, and everything the artist uses.

Suitable for beginner, intermediate, and advanced artists. Some knowledge of basic oil painting recommended. Supply list provided.

PAINTING WITH SOFTNESS & ATMOSPHERE

Join artist Tina Figarelli as she guides you through the beauty of painting a soft, atmospheric portrait painting. Over three days you’ll refine observational drawing, edge control, and value & tonal modeling while working from a photograph. We will begin the painting process with a color study, learning how to mix our colors and prepare for the larger painting. We will then discuss and demo going over the initial first layer, and the subsequent layering the following day.

Student Testimonials:

“Tina! Your previous workshop with East Oaks was so incredibly helpful and ever since then so much has clicked into place surrounding colour and the logic behind my palette (I also can't live without colour studies now, I can never go back, haha). Ever since then my painting skills and practise have improved leaps and bounds as you had such a great way of explaining the logic behind your decisions as you worked. So excited to try this new workshop and continue the learning. As someone who is self-taught and didn't pursue art school I can't stress how valuable these resources are. Again, thank you for sharing and being part of my journey as a painter. Can't wait to see what beautiful work you create next.”

“Recently I purchased the recorded version of @tinafigartist’s workshop Painting with Softness and Atmosphere, and this is my painting!
Tina did such an amazing job with this workshop…!!
I loved that she offered different “tiers” of attendance with different prices—that made it so accessible for me. I was planing to just watch and maybe practice some techniques as the workshop went on, but the Tina really drew me in and I ended up doing my the color study and painting!”

-Keri C.

“Hi Tina! I recently bought your 3 day workshop and I love it so much, I’ve been on a learning period and have been taking workshops with some artists but their techniques or processes don’t seem to fit me for one reason or another. Yours is the first one that I can truly understand, you are great at teaching and also have such a methodical process, so I wanted to thank you for that.”
