Open to all levels, this on-going, challenging course will expose you to principles of design and visual language. Primarily an oil painting class, the goal is to equip you with the skills necessary to fulfill your own artistic vision. This class is taught with the individual artist in mind, teaching principles of the visual language without smothering artistic vision. In a progressive and comprehensive manner, you will be trained to look, to see, to think in a sensitive way to equip you to make your art completely their own. True artistic freedom comes when you have developed the skills to convey, on a two-dimensional surface, what your vision and taste has led you to paint. This class is devoted to teaching fundamental principles of design and technique to empower you.

Throughout this figure painting workshop, underlying structure will be addressed while emphasizing the importance of artistically bringing it to life on canvas. Skeletal study aids of the body and head will be available for aid in observation. Students will concentrate on the sculptural relationships within the figure and selective interpretation on the canvas.
A Thursday evening painting demonstration will set the tone for the weekend and will help to illustrate the important issues that Charles wishes to emphasize. During the demo he will outline his process, method and terminology and will direct students in their goals for the workshop. Students will enjoy one-on-one instruction in a focused group atmosphere during the three full days of painting the figure from life.
Instructor Bio
Charles Young Walls has been an artist all of his life, and art has always been in the forefront of his pursuits. He completed a BFA from Arizona State University after which, following years of artistic struggle, he found the training he was looking for. He studied art at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League, both in New York City, under the tutelage of various teachers. He has studied primarily with Peter Cox and has continued his development through the workshops offered by David Leffel. After an initial foray into equestrian art and portraiture in the late 80’s and early 90’s, Charles then spent a decade eschewing the public eye while honing his painting skills in the commercial arena. In the last few years, he has returned to the field of portraiture and other fine art. He is a member of the Portrait Society of America, an associate member of Oil Painters of America and a Signature Member of the Atlanta Fine Arts League. He enjoys a growing reputation as an award-winning painter and has exhibited in numerous shows in the South, as well as San Antonio, New York City and Florida.
