Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Master Copy Workshop

Join the Dayton Society of Artists for a master copy workshop led by Dayton Society of Artists Historian Kathleen Caffrey. This session will explore the techniques, composition, and artistic decisions behind Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's The Dancing Troupe of Mademoiselle Eglantine through a guided drawing and painting exercise, accompanied by historical insights into the artist and the context surrounding the work. Master copying has long been an important tool for artists seeking to strengthen their observational skills and deepen their understanding of artistic technique. Participants will work from a reproduction of the selected artwork while analyzing its structure, value relationships, color, and compositional design. Kathleen Caffrey will guide participants through the exercise while providing historical context and discussion of Toulouse-Lautrec's life, influences, and place within art history. PLEASE BRING A SKETCHBOOK AND PREFERRED MEDIUM. LIMITED SUPPLIES ARE AVAILABLE.
