About the Workshop

Afremov's Alley by the Lake

Learn some of the art techniques used to create the illusion of three dimensions on a two-dimensional surface as we create our own versions of Leonid Afremov’s painting Alley by the Lake. In addition to learning about vanishing point we will explore how careful placement of hue, tint, tone, and shade can add perspective to any painting. At the completion of the workshop, students will leave with a completed 11×14 painting.

About the Instructor

Serah Ashby received her B.F.A in Digital Design. After 9 years of working as a web and graphic designer, she followed her true passion as a visual artist, working predominately in acrylics and oil. Inspired by the unknown and influenced by the principles of design, she broadened her discipline towards sculptural art, working with materials like wood, metal, cement and epoxy resins.
