After soliciting a volunteer model from the audience, Confar will give a demonstration of ‘painting a (quick) portrait.’She begins on a gessoed panel with a tonal underpainting, talking her audience through the process while she paints. Confar welcomes

questions and dialogue throughout the process. Once the underpainting is dry, she will apply oil as glaze to bring color and life to the tonal base. It’s a lively process. The lucky volunteer usually walks away with a quick portrait!

Confar received her B.F.A from the Art Institute of Southern California, Laguna Beach, and her M.F.A. from Boston University. Confar’s work is in many private and public collections and was recently acquired by the Provincetown Art Museum for its permanent collection.

Hannah Bureau will be setting up a large canvas and working on it to completion in this dynamic demonstration of her painting. In this way, guests will be able to see her process, learn her techniques, and ask questions along the way. Expect to learn new techniques of layering acrylic paint, and working in an abstract manner from memory.

A graduate of The Rhode Island School of Design and selected as an outstanding graduate student at Massachusetts College of Art, Bureau has exhibited her paintings with Saatchi at the PULSE Art Fair in New York City, The Affordable Art Fair at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NYC as well as many notable galleries. She has studied with renowned contemporary American artists and has been painting professionally for over 20 years. Bureau was born in Paris and moved to America at the age of 8. When not painting she is busy raising her twin girls Isla and Elsi and taking walks with her dog Lucy.
