Class Description

Description

Participants will draw and paint the portrait from a single pose lasting several weeks. The first several sessions of each pose will consist of drawing on paper to establish an accurate likeness, proportions, and structure in a linear mode. When the drawing is complete it will be transferred for painting. The following weeks will proceed in a rational way, applying paint incrementally through an understanding of the effect of light on form. This procedure will include lengthy discussions on the physical events that cause particular hue, value and chroma properties. Beginning to advanced artists are welcome.

It is recommended that artists have drawn and/or painted in the Cast Hall before taking Portrait.

If artists have little experience painting or prefer to remain in a drawing mode they can opt to render fully in graphite on paper.
