Mel Williamson – Skull Study with Limited Palette (Recording)

Date recorded: Thursday, October 31, 2024

Level: All

Medium: Oil or acrylic

Presentation Type: Demo/Paint-Along

Paint along with me, or simply watch, as I create a Halloween-themed skull from start to finish! Studying the skull is very informative for portrait painting, and I can show you some key anatomical points to observe. I’ll explain each step of the process, and share insights as to why I make certain choices as I go. We can also have a fun, interactive chat about , why I love a limited palette, my technique, favourite materials and anything you like. (I promise it won’t be scary at all!)

Free!

Mel Williamson lives and paints on Salt Spring Island, BC, where she creates work in a variety of genres, including the human figure, landscape and still life. Her work has been described as “impressionistic, fresh and honest” and has a unique expressive quality, through bravura brushwork.

Known as a kind, generous and open teacher, Mel shares her knowledge and practices with others in an encouraging manner. She teaches online and in-person in Vancouver and Italy. She loves oil paint in all of its materiality and possibility, and believes there are no mistakes, only progress.

Mel is represented by three galleries in Canada: on Salt Spring Island and Sidney, BC and in Toronto, ON.
