In this immersive workshop you will explore the abstract and representational painting process of J Louis from concept to creation. J will share with you his method for capturing exceptional reference imagery in a live model photo shoot and help you elevate your work with luscious color, texture, and design.

This workshop is for people who wish to completely immerse themselves in J Louis’ intense personal workflow.
J LOUIS
J Louis is known for his oil paintings of female figures, focusing on the exquisite strength and alluring complexity of women through saturated color, flattened space, and texture. His technical painting skills, his eye for capturing an expression that portrays an intimate story, and his material experimentation are combined together to create a dynamic harmony between emotion and design. J Louis explores the boundaries of contemporary expressionism while living and working in New York City. Born: American, Karlsruhe, Germany Education: B.F.A. Savannah College of Art & Design, (Summa Cum Laude)
