A124 Live Model: Portrait Painting

Level A – All levels welcome.

Join us for the opportunity to practice the traditional method of portrait painting in oils with a live model! Using a minimal color pallet, we will focus the first day on the oil paint medium and how to achieve flesh like skin tone while studying the correct proportions of the model. The second day we will focus on the shadow shapes and achieving correct value, rendering your artwork life-like. You will leave this class with a better understanding of how to paint the human face!
