8 Day Portrait Painting Workshop
July 7-15, 2008

Develop your skills of portrait painting with this eight day intensive workshop. Working from life and from the masters, you will follow traditional ideas and techniques of portrait painting as you develop vital tools for creating skillful portrait paintings. You will explore varied working methods through master copies, lectures and group discussions, spending a portion of each day working on topical issues such as drawing, composition, value, color and color theory, as you study the way the master artists of the past have handled such challenges. Over the eight days, you also create one longer painting that develops from drawing to under painting through full color. Class discussions, slide lectures and instructor demonstrations focus on building skills for successful independent work and also illuminate ways to solve problems when you return to your own studio.
