Portrait Painting Workshop

Portrait painting and drawing is probably one of the hardest but most inspiring subject matters of art. There is nothing like a fine art portrait of someone you know and love. We will begin the class by composing the model in the correct light and wardrobe. The first session or 2 of the class will focus on drawing. Accuracy in proportion, shape, line, value, and anatomical structure in the features are fundamental to capturing a likeness. The instructor will discuss these principles in depth using demos and critiques. Following the drawing portion of class students will be encouraged to paint. Paintings will be done with their drawing transferred to canvas. A range of traditional techniques will be utilized to best serve the painting including underpainting (ebouche) and form painting. The properties of value and color in regards to beautiful flesh tones will be explored. Please bring $43 for model fee the first day of class.
