PIXEL GLAZING WORKSHOP WITH LO CHAN PENG
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be hosting an exciting 5-day workshop this Summer with esteemed fellow oil painter Lo Chan Peng. I will be opening up my studio and assisting Lo as he teaches us his unique Pixel Glazing method - a technique he developed specifically to capture incredibly lifelike skin textures in portraits.
Lo Chan Peng will guide students in understanding the basic principles of painting, such as hue, chroma, and value, and the characteristics of oil painting materials, including transparent and opaque colors. Additionally, he will introduce the concept of the "map" of the palette and how to "bury" colors, explain the "fishing net" painting method, and discuss strategies for completing a painting. Through demonstrations and hands on guidance, Lo will provide a deep dive into his unique methods and equip us to apply these techniques to our own paintings.
The workshop will run from Sunday, July 27th through Thursday, July 31st, 2025. My studio is conveniently located near Downtown Los Angeles at the Brewery Arts Complex - just a short distance from a great range of hotels, restaurants, and activities. Space is limited, so sign up as soon as you can!

Lo Chan-Peng's artworks primarily focus on portraits and span a variety of media including oil paintings and ink. In his work, Lo often explores themes of time, history, and the boundary between life and death. Through representational and delicate portraiture, as well as traces of wear, damage, burning, and stains, he delivers a potent visual experience to the viewers, transforming abstract concepts like time and history into visible elements and creating a unique artistic lexicon. Recent themes in his work include "people changed by history," "those who change history," and "light." A prominent feature of his art is the indescribable expressions of the figures, profound and mysterious. Lo Chan-Peng believes this simplicity and purity stem from his life experiences and represent what all great artists have aspired to throughout history.
