Portrait Painting: Heads Above
July 22, 2019 @ 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Date: July 22 – July 26, Monday-Friday, 5 sessions
Time: 1:30pm-4:30pm
Cost: $400 includes model fee
The portrait will be the departure point for a discussion of simplification and abstraction in pictorial structure for this four-day workshop. Through reducing the visible to its simplest terms we will attempt to develop accuracy though layering shape into proportional constructions of the head. Issues of anatomical structure, figure-ground integration, value organization, creation of light will be discussed. Historical portraits, contemporary portraiture, and working from a model will be included. Some painting experience required; oil paint is the medium.
