As a complement to Dittmar Gallery's exhibition "Making Mona Lisa," the gallery hosted a workshop on Tuesday with artist Emily Moorhead, who taught canvas painting techniques and how they can be used to reproduce famous paintings. The Mona Lisa is among the top ten of world’s most popular oil painting reproductions.
At the workshop, Moorhead introduced a painting by Claude Monet: Grainstacks, end of day, Autumn. It is classified as an impressionism work. She showed how to paint the background and use different techniques such as dry brush.
The exhibition "Making Mona Lisa," which is on display through Oct. 24, features artwork by Priscilla Briggs and is about the art of replica paintings and the reproduction of photographs of artists' lives.
“You can see those art reproductions of photos of these artists’ lives," Moorhead said. "They spend their whole lives on this. That is amazing."
