GABRIEL LIPPER
JUNE 24 - July 5, 2024
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.

REALISM DOESN'T HAVE TO BE TEDIOUS!
Move your tiny brushes aside and learn to paint in a dynamic and expressive way.
Learning to paint a still life is foundational for painting everything! It plants the seeds for a new level of freedom. It is the step toward mastering any subject matter you choose.
This workshop is designed to shift the way you see. Instead of painting objects the way you "think" they are "supposed" to look like, you will begin to see things for what they truly are - a collection of abstract negative and positive spaces and shapes.
Register and learn to build your paintings from the ground up with strong compositions, beautiful color and solid forms.
LEARN ABOUT OTHER WORKSHOPSI really enjoy you (Gabriel) talking out loud as you go. It makes your thinking visible; it's a very easy way for me to understand the process.

Meet Your Instructor:
Gabriel Mark Lipper, professional painter, exceptional instructor and founder of 8Paint Infinite Arts.
After years of suffering through the rigors of classical training, I came to develop my own way of seeing. One that felt authentic to me and lit me up, from the inside out. It combined the traditional academic approach with my own contemporary style and love of painting. It was a long road to get here and, let's be honest, the creative path is one of realization and self-discovery that never really ends.
Over the last 25 years working as a professional painter, and through much trial and error, I came to develop the specific tools and techniques necessary to build a strong foundation and inner confidence. It's from this place, that creative freedom, flow and transformation is achieved.
And this is why I created the Summer Workshop Series! I want to give you the lessons that took me years to learn and help catapult you to new heights.
