"Some workshops leave you with a happy feeling for days afterwards and this is the case with our recent 3 day Painting the Portrait in Oil with Adam Clague! Adam is not only a great painter but wonderful teacher and super nice person. It was a great 3 days with lots of learning and painting! —Jeanie S., Workshop host
"I love how Adam teaches in a calm, peaceful and logical manner. I personally have had my greatest growth in skill by his instruction."
— Desiree Y.
"Taking one of Adam's workshops was not only an art learning experience but a relaxed and enjoyable one. His demos were very informative, a true reflection of his talent and his command of the oil medium."
— John U.
"Adam is a truly gifted artist, as confirmed by the many top awards he has received. He is a compassionate instructor, who openly shares his wealth of knowledge with his students. His observations and guidance are presented in understandable language with great empathy." —Teddy J.

Painting the Backlit Figure Pre-Recorded Workshop
In this 3.5–hour workshop with Sentient Academy, I'll help you simplify a backlit figurative scene into essential elements that can be captured quickly. As I paint Andrea's sister backlit by the sun, I will demonstrate how to mix values, temperatures, and colors to harness the effects of sunlight.
