Ignat Ignatov Portrait Painting workshop this weekend

Setting up the studio in preparation for Ignat Ignatov's portrait painting demo.  His demo will kick off our 3-day alla prima portait painting workshop.  We are so excited to have this internationally known artist come up from LA to teach us!

Some of Ignat's demos are available for artists to see.  His amazing use of color, expressive brushwork, and technical skills combine together to create these gorgeous portraits.  His own DVD is available for purchase as well.

Some more examples of his demos for students to see and learn from.  This will be a fantastic 3 days of learning from such a highly accomplished artist.

UPDATE:
Good News!! The seller has agreed to let us purchase the building and so the Patris Studio and Gallery has survived!!! Last week I wondered how I'd be able to continue the good work we started here in Oak Park and on Sunday Sept. 4, people began showing up in my life - one by one -and together we made it happen.
Thank you to all of your support and generosity!

Now more than ever before, we invite you to share this story with your friends, family and colleagues, the world! We have closing costs, inspections, the list goes on and on. Your continued support and generosity will bring us closer to the victory lap and help us launch this new chapter for Northern California's premier art venue.

With a heart overflowing with gratitude, thanks again world for joining us in this amazing story.

Stay tuned for exciting details and more updates!

"We will cover a lot of canvas-burning mileage by painting smaller sizes. I believe that more is learned through many small starts than laboring over a large canvas."​
