Visiting ARTIST, Ben Valentine will be teaching at Natalia Fabia’s Costa Mesa , CA studio!

July 14th - 18th, 2025

10-4 pm PST

Join us for a 5 day oil painting workshop and learn all about Rembrandt’s painting methods. If you've ever looked at a Rembrandt and wondered how he did that, this course is for you! Ben will pass on everything he knows about Rembrandt’s process, materials and technique including mediums, supports, brushes, pigments, drying times and even current best practices. He’ll also be covering Rembrandt’s two primary painting approaches. First an indirect method which uses a rich combination of layering, impasto, translucency, glazes, scumbles and opacity. And secondly, Rembrandt’s less understood direct method focused on boldness and efficiency of brushwork. Student’s will follow along, creating two Rembrandt studies alongside Ben’s frequent demonstrations and individual instruction. Whether a beginner or seasoned artist, you can expect to come away from this workshop with a deep understanding of your oil painting materials and Rembrandt’s methods.

ALL details & info will be emailed.
