WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

In this workshop, we will focus on learning to really see and understand the nuances that distinguish one face from the next. Our goal will be to paint the essential character of a person as directly and simply as possible. The many exercises will teach you to:

  • Improve your observation skills
  • Hone in on the essentials
  • Select what is most important to capture the essence of the person
  • Get things on canvas in a very simple, direct, and accurate manner
  • Apply paint in different ways to best describe your subject
