This workshop is designed to teach students skills that help them both find a likeness and create energized, colorful depictions of faces and torsos with layered color.
We will find and develop a likeness, learning what to look for and how to lay it down. We’ll go through each of the facial features. You’ll be given both demonstrations and handouts. We will learn brush handling skills that are essential when layering color: how to pick up pigment and what part of the brush to use to lay it down.
We will also cover how to use your fingers, wrist, elbow, and shoulder when painting to help develop skills needed to create both loose and exacting aspects of a layered depiction.
Class will begin with a short discussion on how and what to observe. We’ll do some basic brush techniques exercises, then students will be led through a step by step exercise on how to build your subject using ,at first, a limited palette.
After lunch, we will begin working individually using the skills and approach already learned with further demonstrations and personalized instruction provided as needed.
Tickets are $90.
Scholarships are available!
