Carol Peacock
The Abstracted Figure/ Oil Glazing

Intermediate
Studio
5 Day class (9am-4pm)
Tuition: $265 (includes lab fee)
Materials/Model: $40

Learn the inimitable techniques of noted Eurekan painter Carol Peacock. Noted for her “larger than life” Gauguinesque figures, Carol will share her unique style with her class. This class will involve blocking in shape and gesture on canvas. The student will learn to under paint using light and shadow. The figure will be developed using oil glazes.

Raised in Germany, Carol Peacock was inspired by the European painters, Paul Gauguin and Amedeo Modigliani. These influences come through in her sense of color and her figurative work. She has been painting since her teens and has had numerous one-woman shows. In 2005 she received first prize at the Eureka Springs Fall Art Fair. She recently completed the restoration of the Louis Freund mural in downtown Eureka Springs.
