UPCOMING WORKSHOPS/EVENTS

ON TEACHING…
Rob is internationally known for his inspiring and informative teaching style. He teaches at The Art League of Virginia and holds workshops throughout the U.S. and abroad. He regularly tours students through the great museums of Europe, garnering from his extensive knowledge of the old European masters and is a visiting instructor at The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, demonstrating old masters’ techniques. Rob is a distinguished faculty member and on the advisory board of The American Portrait Society. He was asked to pioneer one of their first online teaching courses for American Artist Magazine in 2009 and taught regularly at their “Weekend with the Masters” workshops. Responding to the growing need for classical art instruction on those unable to travel, Liberace Studio has produced a series of tutorial dvds in which Rob demonstrates his techniques focusing on figure, portrait and anatomy and since Covid he teaches several online classes per year. He has been asked to contribute articles on technique for both American Artist and The Artist’s magazines. Rob has been named a “Modern Master” by the Art Renewal Center and has received the grand prize awards for both the Art Renewal Center and American Portrait Society competitions.

THE PUTNEY BARN, PUTNEY, VERMONT
COSTUME DRAMA – FEATURES AND FABRICS EXPLORED
October 14 15, 16, 2023 (height of New England’s autumn color!)
From Vermeer’s “Girl with the Pearl Earring” to Sargents “Lady Macbeth” artists have used elaborately costumed subjects to accentuate the drama of their art. The three day class explores the beauty and complexity of this portrait tradition and features models dressed in period inspired attire. The first day will involve drawing (or painting if preferred) with a focus on the anatomy of both the face and fabric. Special attention will be given to the various characteristics of fabric folds. The final two days will explore painting the portrait and costume in oils and feature discussions on alla-prima paint handling and color. Email Cat at catnunn@comcast.net for more info.
