Portraits
 | Realism: Training Hand eye co-ordination |
| Shading & Proportion |
| Painting in a monotone & full colour palette |
This two-day workshop teaches methods and techniques for capturing a likeness and rendering portraits.
The better you draw, the better your paintings will be. The essence of draftsmanship is having a well-trained eye. There will be an emphasis on drawing in a realistic style, perspective of the features, angles, and lighting. Preliminary Sketches will be used to develop techniques of contour, shading and perspective and then the execution of the portrait in acrylic or oil paint. Each day the artist will produce a portrait painting that leads them thru the basics of measuring, establishing a two-tone underpainting, introducing cool and warm colors, to convey light and shadow. This workshop will allow you to complete 2 head and shoulder portraits on two separate 16"x20" canvases. Examples of the instructor's work will be available.
