This workshop will focus on learning to paint a portrait from life in oil. The Instructor will be going over composition, drawing, likeness, organizing your palette, color mixing, value, edges, and producing a completed portrait. This workshop will consist for two day poses.
Sean Cheetham uses a very distinct palette, called a “mud-Palette” when working on Alla-Prima Portraits. This palette will be discussed extensively throughout the workshop. The benefits of working with this palette are value and color control. Sean will discuss harmony and unity in your final piece. He will teach you a simple step by step process to painting alla-prima portraits. Don’t miss this opportunity to study with one of the great modernpainters of our time.
BIO:Sean Cheetham is a contemporary oil painter whose training is steeped in traditional portraiture.

His remarkable skill at creating rich layers to capture the subtle nuances of his subjects hearken back to the old masters, yet the work is undeniably fresh.

His self portrait “Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams…” is currently hanging in the National Portrait gallery at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. Sean lives and teaches painting in Los Angeles.
