The Portrait Series continues with Indirect Portrait Painting. Indirect painting means you spend multiple sessions on the same painting (as opposed to direct painting also know as alla prima painting). You will learn how to successfully build a layered painting with great depth and luminosity. The benefit of using an underpainting with both an open and closed grisaille method, as well as some advanced topics such as glazing and scumbling will be discussed. We will focus on capturing a likeness with sophisticated color and tone. Come gain confidence and accuracy in representing the portrait in oils!
This Portrait Series will start with fundamental drawing exercises which will build each month toward painting the portrait with confidence and accuracy. This month’s focus will continue to build our understanding of how light effects our perceptions of the forms of the face. Using various painting techniques, and working from the live model, you will develop a deep understanding of the human head. We will examine proper proportions, structure and basic anatomy as well as use multiple drawing and painting techniques to represent the portrait. This class series will strengthen your ability and understanding of the human head whether you are an absolute beginner or an advanced student.
This class is limited to 14 students as we will have the opportunity to have 2 models posing simultaneously.
