5 Day Inensive Course in Portrait Painting
a few spots remaining
Purpose of Course:
The focus of this class is to develop a thinking eye through the selective pursuit of form and color. Painting from life affords the opportunity for selectivity through the observation of changes that develop from moment to moment. Students must be aware of the variety of subtle changes observed in class, from the slightest shift of the model’s pose, to a change of color and tone due to a reflected light. All the variety of changes that occur informs a painting and becomes in some way a remnant of that experience. The process in representing those experiences as a unified whole is the challenge of painting. Student’s perceptual skills are conceptual concerns that give meaning and allow expressive direction to painting.
Student Learning Outcomes
Understanding drawing, tone, value and color with a unified direct application of paint is stressed. Simplification of forms and the gradual development of the parts in context with the whole are produced through the observation of light and shadow and warm and cool colors.
Topics to be Covered
This class will pursue direct painting from the model over a sustained period of time . Students are to develop rapid immediate starts establishing the whole at once. Understanding how to develop an initial structure that’s flexible to change and development are stressed.
Students will gain an understanding of materials and basic craftsmanship from establishing ground supports to a variety of techniques in oil paint using fatty over lean principles.
