JOSEPH HAS TWO WORKSHOPS SCHEDULED FOR 2026
ITALIANA TOURS - FROM CONCEPT TO CANVAS : May 18-24, 2026 , Le Marche, ITALY. www.https://www.italianatours.com/joseph-lorusso-2026
In this workshop, Joseph will guide students through his process for constructing a painting in the studio setting. The workshop will be structured to show the various phases a painting goes through from conception to completion. Joseph will guide students in a step-by-step process that encompasses the proper use of materials. Joseph will cover his three step process he uses in every painting. He will speak on the proper use of photo reference, how to develop a concept as a tool for storytelling, as well as the technical challenges on how to compose and design a painting. Joseph will work one-on-one, as well as paint along with students in order to demonstrate his process. Students will primarily work from appropriate photographs provided by the instructor, each working in the same process as Joseph does in his studio setting. Students will be encouraged to bring their own photos as well, and Joseph will show how he goes about taking proper photo reference. Students will also have access to paint outdoors and explore the landscape. The goal of the workshop is to complete one to two full-sized paintings within the week. A class critique will be given on the final afternoon.
