ABOUT THE ARTIST
Anna Rose Bain is a fine art oil painter and commissioned portrait artist based in Westminster, CO. Her paintings often depict people in peaceful settings or places that evoke happiness. She especially loves painting women and children, and seeks to convey all of her subjects with honesty and sensitivity.
Anna's style is a combination of both classical and direct painting methods, which often leads to the subject becoming somewhat idealized, while preserving its true essence. She draws her inspiration from the joys and struggles in her life. Her paintings are an expression of gratitude and an exploration of the questions one faces at different stages of their life. For example, her “Self Portrait at 23 Weeks Pregnant” is a coming to terms with change and a joyous celebration of new life.
In addition to being a wife and mother, Anna paints full time, teaches portrait workshops and demos, and is actively involved in local and national arts communities, including the Oil Painters of America and the Portrait Society of America. She has won numerous awards for her work and continues to draw the attention of national and international collectors. Her official website is www.artworkbyannarose.com. For a more intimate glimpse into the life of a working artist and mother who is passionately pursuing her dream, you can visit her blog, http://artworkbyannarose.blogspot.com.

July 13-15, 2023:
Anna Rose Bain-Capturing Soul & Spirit: Alla Prima Portraits in Oil
This workshop will focus on painting beautiful portraits from life. We will discuss the ways to capture a likeness using gesture, form, edges, values, and clean color. There will be an instructor demonstration each morning, followed by one-on-one instruction in the afternoon.
Some drawing experience is strongly recommended if you wish to attend this class, as we will be diving right into color and Anna will share her approach to painting the portrait alla prima, or “all at once.” On day three we will place a special emphasis on painting hands.
