Luminescent Skin Tones Oil Painting Workshop w/ Mel Fiorentino

Luminescent Skin Tones Workshop w/ Mel Fiorentino at NOMA Gallery in beautiful Ocala, FL.

Want to learn how to apply color to your figures that make them stand out and bring a whole new life into your work?

In this workshop Mel will teach you how to see and paint all the colors that lie beneath the flesh tones and show how to correctly apply them to your artwork through practice. No matter what medium you work in, this skill is important for creating vibrant figures.

"I will be teaching the methods I use in my everyday painting style, which includes the use of a non-traditional palette, blending techniques and show you how to amplify your figurative work through practice. These skills can be applied in most mediums and will bring a distinctive element to your work." -Mel Fiorentino

*ALL SUPPLIES INCLUDED*

We will be working on 18"x24" primed canvas and using oil paints. You may bring your own brushes if you wish.

About Mel:

Influenced by many artists from the Renaissance to living artists today, Fiorentino’s work is focused on figurative work and portraiture. Starting out drawing and painting in her teens, she has always been drawn to art from the Renaissance and likes to incorporate the symbolism and deep meaning of existence within her work. Mel has explored and stretched the boundaries of figurative painting, creating a highly diverse and distinctive body of work. She primarily works in oil and also mulls/mixes her own paint. Many of her works dabble within the realm of surrealism and realism, continuing to expand on the ideas she is representing within her work. She now lives and paints in her studio in Florida and also teaches painting and techniques in painting with oils at NOMA Gallery. Realism and spirituality are what you can find in Mel’s recent work beginning with her “Celestial Symbiosis” Exhibition with collaborator photographer Ralph Demilio in 2021. Her next upcoming exhibition “Origin” is scheduled in 2023. As Gallery Director at NOMA Gallery, she is focused on her work, education and bringing new artists from around the world to the gallery. She teaches workshops and classes to help others advance in their skills in their careers and her mission is to help other artists grow.
