December 15th - December 18th. Paul DeLorenzo Workshop Series a Success. On December 15th through December 18th, the Long Island Academy of Fine Art was happy to host a Portrait Painting workshop series with Paul DeLorenzo. Paul introduced students to the sight-size method and students created monochromatic portrait paintings.
"Paul DeLorenzo opened my eyes and mind in his portrait workshop. I walked away with a deeper understanding of the methods passed down to him from a long chain of master artists. It was an experience i will never forget and will cherish forever."
