WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: We will be painting a variety of head studies in this workshop. We will design realistic works with supporting abstract elements and painterly approaches. Learn to simplify and understand structure while applying strong values and color. Students will be encouraged to incorporate more expressive brushwork into their painting. It will allow you to move beyond the “studio exercise phase” and into more exciting aspects of creating a portrait, while still achieving a likeness. This class will be particularly helpful to students who wish to paint more loosely and to paint their subject more efficiently |
