Workshop Overview

Explore contemporary oil painting, unleash your creativity and draw expressive portraits with an innovative technique.

Over the course of this 3-day workshop, Torsten Wolber will demonstrate his signature alla prima painting technique, guiding participants on how to free their mindset from rigid expectations and discover their authentic artistic voice. Together with Torsten, you will explore the delicate balance between traditional portraiture and contemporary painting, discussing where the boundaries lie and how they can be creatively crossed.

Torsten will help you loosen your painting arm and unlock the expressive artist within. From laying down tones and color across the canvas to understanding the nuances of values, he will introduce the principles of hard, soft and lost edges, alongside his distinctive use of “imaginative shapes.” Through this process, you’ll develop a solid grasp of composition, enabling you to paint with greater freedom and confidence, ultimately achieving a fresh, dynamic style.
