Workshop on Painting in the Style of Caravaggio

Martinho Correia just completed his second oil painting workshop for the Sacred Arts program at St. Mary's University College.  This winter's theme was on painting in the style of Caravaggio.  Students were introduced to the techniques used by Caravaggio to create his dramatic and distinctive style of painting.

During the six Saturdays that the workshop met, each student worked on a copy of one of Caravaggio's masterpieces. Here are a few photos from the workshop.  To learn more about Caravaggio check out Martinho's recent entries on his blog Off the Coast of Utopia.

Martinho plans to return for another workshop in the spring of 2015.
