J. ELIZALDE

During a traditional fine art workshop at TAFA, I developed two Old Master Replicas and one still life oil painting from direct observation. This workshop gave me the opportunity to improve technique with physical mediums. TAFA approached artistry as if it was the 1600s. We didn't listen to music, and worked on our art the entire day long. Photo references and pencil sharpeners were replaced with plumb lines and sand paper. Under the supervision of critical instructors, I trained my eye to notice the slightest inaccuracies in proportion, and my work is now better for it.
