WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: Have you always wanted to paint people, but have been held back by fear, or perhaps attempted a few portraits and been discouraged by your results? Maybe you have produced many good portrait paintings, but you feel uninspired, stuck in a rut. This workshop is all about removing barriers that are keeping you from fully enjoying the process of painting people. Through daily demonstrations and discussions, I will introduce a variety of ways to approach portraiture, expanding the possibilities of what a portrait can look like. You will experiment with different surfaces, color palettes and ways to apply paint, and the focus will always be on freedom, amusement, courage and exploration! |
