The adrenaline was pumping as the artists raced to complete their works, learning to focus on priorities, on values, and simplifying. In the first morning block the master artist Jon Houghton discussed his palette anddemonstrated his painting approach using his assistant Steven Rogers as model. Beginning most of the remaining 5 time blocks further instruction was provided, covering cool/warm tones and where typically found on a face, painting eyes realistically yet simplifying, an alternate palette, and choosing backgrounds. In between we were entertained and enlightened by Jon's vast knowledge and anecdotes of his life endeavors as an artist.
