Lea and Steve




The instructors at Studio Incamminati are amazing, not only for their talent and knowledge, but for their generosity. It's no secret that the art world can be heavy with ego and mystery. The instructors there make painting seem possible.

Lea Wight and Stephen Early were the primary instructors for the workshop. Here they're seen doing a two hour portrait demo. Lea's work, in the early stage, is in the middle, and Steve's sample, further along, is at the bottom.

One of the things I appreciated about the workshop is that they do a lot of demos. Often, demos were with two or three instructors a time, so you can see the variation in approach, though the principles used are the same.

Hi Anne,
i never thought about learning from an art teacher by watching them paint. it makes sense, i just never thought about it before. the last time i had any kind of drawing instruction was in middle school and the teacher taught by drawing over your work or just grading you. this is the reason why i have never taken a drawing class since.
the portraits they did were amazing.
