Join Holly McWilliams for a day of oil painting, history, and creative fun as you dive into the timeless grisaille technique! Grisaille is a fascinating way to create depth, form, and drama using only neutral shades—just like the old masters did!

In this workshop, you will be painting a version of Leonardo da Vinci’s “La Scapigliata” (Woman’s Head)—one of the most stunning and expressive portraits in art history. You will learn how to use light and shadow to create a beautifully sculpted effect in your paintings. Holly will take you through all the secrets of grisaille, why the masters loved it, and how it improves your painting. You will learn techniques for creating depth, contrast, and striking realism with a limited palette and gain a deeper appreciation for classical art and its historical significance. By the end of the workshop, you will have a finished painting to proudly display in your home.

This class is for everyone—whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced oil painter, you will come away with new skills and a newfound confidence in your art.
