Would you like to refine your portrait painting skills? Have you always wanted to get into portraiture and just don’t know where to start? This portrait painting class will teach the ins and outs of portraiture. Students will spend time practicing color, form, anatomy, style, and materiality. Dive into learning what it takes to paint a portrait while seeing how portraits have changed throughout history.
Students will develop an in-depth understanding of how to construct a portrait from life and from photos including mixing flesh tones, understanding value, temperature, hue, viscosity, in addition to the anatomy of the human head inside and out.
This Week:
Project: Finish self portrait from mirror
Goal: Apply everything we’ve learned
Materials: Painting materials (Acrylic or Oil), sketchbook, stretched canvas or canvas paper
Procedure: Students will set up a mirror at their easel so that they can look at themselves and paint a self portrait.
We will spend all of class working on this.
