Amanda Lovett

Painting BARNS, BARRELS and BUSHELS
​Oil Painting Workshop
October 26 & 27

Friday & Saturday
9:30 - 4:30 PM
$255

​Adding more substance and interest to your composition can often times enhance the story you’re trying to tell, however, the word ‘perspective’ can clear a classroom faster than a canvas on fire! One of the best ways to overcome this feeling of panic, and need for a high quality extinguisher, is to learn to keep only the bare essentials necessary to imply an object rather than completely replicate it.
 
So let’s be fearless together and no longer be afraid to tell the ‘whole’ story. Join me for two days of lively demos, hands-on painting and one-on-one instruction. FOR ALL LEVELS.

About the Artist

Amanda Lovett’s family recognized there was a creative career in her future when her childhood doodles were actually detailed sketches of her father’s horses.

Amanda attended the Atlanta Portfolio Center where she studied Art Direction, Graphic Design, Photography and Illustration and joined the advertising firm of McDonald and Little as an Art Director at the young age of 19. She thrived in her creative role and gained invaluable experience and education in the position, giving her the confidence to start her own successful agency when McDonald and Little was later purchased and moved to New York.
 In 1998, Amanda attended a watercolor landscape class with Frank Broadhurst, who she would later credit for starting her on a path as a painter. In 2004, after recently switching her focus to oils, Amanda made the commitment to become a full time artist.

With a never ending desire for growth, Amanda has studied under some of the country’s top professionals. This love for learning has driven her to continue her education at every opportunity and has translated into the desire to share her knowledge with others. She currently teaches workshops at venues across the southeast with a series of subject matters developed to build the core skills necessary for growth at any level.

Amanda has been accepted into numerous national and regional shows and organizations. She is currently represented in several art galleries across the country.

Through her art, Amanda captures the vibrancy and energy most people miss in the simple moments of life.
