Exhibiting artist Lillia Frantin will begin her special four-day workshop with a demonstration of painting from the still-life. Lillia will share the process and approach she has developed over the years that she calls "Romantic Expressionism," incorporating vivid color and expressive brush and paint handling. Using the still-life as a springboard, Lillia welcomes new and seasoned painters to the workshop who are interested in trying fresh approaches to color, drawing and composition.
