Artist Joshua LaRock Asks Fine Art Connoisseur Publisher Questions About the Realism Movement
FACE Preview: Painting Demo with David Kassan
Highlights from FACE 2017
Painting the figure takes on many forms, from classical academic realism to looser, brushier representations. At last, the figure has its own conference, a place for museum-quality figure painters — and those who strive to be — to gather to exchange ideas, learn from great masters, improve their painting skills, and form a community to carry the flag for realism.
Held on the East Coast of the United States at the historic Williamsburg Lodge in historic Williamsburg, Virginia, the third annual Figurative Art Convention & Expo (FACE) is designed to be hands-on; attendees can paint, grow, and become inspired in a fun environment. The Expo Hall will provide vendors who serve the figurative art community.
The event is created by Fine Art Connoisseur magazine, and hosted by Editor Peter Trippi and Publisher Eric Rhoads.

Garin BakerA huge thank you to everyone who planned and participated in the 2017 Figurative Art Conference and Expo (especially the fine folks of Fine Art Connoisseur magazine). It was a tremendous undertaking to put together. We met so many people and enjoyed all the demos and talks… for us it was a big success. Hoping for many more FACEs to come.
Sara LarsenGreat talk by Peter Trippi that covered a heck of a lot of bases about the challenges of being an artist today. Fingers crossed there will be an announcement tomorrow about a #face18
