Portrait Painting of the Head and Shoulder, Alla Prima
Saturday September 21 & Sunday 22, 2013
2 Day Portrait Painting Workshop
Time: 10:00 – 5:00
Level: All levels
Medium: Oil Painting
Course Description
This 2-day workshop explores a traditional method for painting a head and shoulders portrait working directly from the subject. Each day will begin with a brief lecture and painting demonstration, followed by participants painting from the live model. The focus of this workshop is to help students develop an understanding of head structure and the elements that go into creating a likeness while seeing and painting the subject in sequence. Participants will be able to simplify the painting process by learning how to examine and translate observations of the light on the subject surrounded by atmosphere. Topics such as color relationships, value structure and learning how to select from the subject will also be covered. We will explore a variety of supports, brushes, and materials. PowerPoint presentations, group discussion, and individual critiques and instruction will be included.
