PAINT BOX GUILD WORKSHOP
OCTOBER 21ST, 2026, 10am to 3 pm
STEPHANIE HARTSHORN
ARTIST & INSTRUCTOR
Finding the Painting
A photo reference gives us plenty of information—perhaps too much. Stephanie will demonstrate in oil how she simplifies that information, moving from value abstraction to block-in and color. From there, the question becomes: now that the painting exists, how do we develop it without developing everything? Through edges, texture, detail, emphasis and restraint, participants will explore how selective choices can create stronger, more personal paintings.
While Stephanie’s demonstration will be in oil, the workshop is open to painters working in any medium. Participants will bring their own reference and work through the same process in their preferred medium*, with individual guidance focused on the painting itself rather than medium-specific technique.
*Watercolorists, your medium is a bit outside my wheelhouse—you may have to help me with that part. 😜
