3 Day . Making a Portrait Painting Work - Studio
A good portrait is usually a well structured, expressive work of art, full of character, volume and good design. This class will stress the learning process to achieve this goal from basic proportions, structure, value and color relationships.
We will talk as much about creating a work of art as making a portrait. We will talk about enhancing shapes, values and colors to make your painting more compelling as well as what to leave out.
Painting a portrait is a process of getting the simple relationships right first and then developing those important relationships into a more finished painting. I encourage my students to loosen up, be brave, enjoy the process, have fun and work hard.
Students should have some basic drawing and painting skills and I will do class demos and give each student plenty of individual critiques.
We will paint from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m daily.
