Drawing and painting people can be intimidating. Join classically trained artist, Anna Youngers, as she walks you through the process of creating a portrait from life.
This 3-day workshop will introduce students to a step-by-step approach for simplifying a complex subject. Working from a live model, instruction will touch on all aspects of the process-from initial model setup, to the composition & block-in, and final rendering stages. Topics of discussion will include lighting, color-mixing, paint application, and the organization of values & color relationships. There will also be an overview of tools & materials (e.g. painting supports, brushes, palette & color choice).
Daily demonstrations and personalized one-on-one instruction are sure to make this a valuable and engaging experience for all skill levels. Prior experience of drawing from life is encouraged but not required. A list of suggested materials will be provided with registration.
Each day will have a lunch break from 12:00-1:30pm.
