WHAT??
"What on earth is a portrait painting bootcamp??", you may ask. I'm not totally sure myself....
I kid!
This is a class designed to get your summer going, get those wrist moving, and your eyes seeing. Since we meet every saturday for three weeks, you will get to ask as many questions as you want ("why does my paint lift off when it is tacky?" or "is that color warm or cool???"). I'm going to give you a lot of information, everything from set-up, mediums, lighting, color mixing charts, drawing ideas, poses, starting help, finishing touches, lost/found edges....
These classes are NOT taught on a building basis, but be sure that I will give you new idea for all three classes. Get your mind, eyes and hands ready to throw some serious paint around.
Portrait Painting Workshops in 2010 at Art Warehouse
I am teaching all-day workshops in Chattanooga, TN at Art Warehouse. Although students are encouraged to take all three workshops, they are taught separately. These workshops focus on painting portraits from life. We will be discussing proportions, values, edge treatment, and color mixing as well as set-up of the model. Although oil painting will be discussed predominantly, all 2D media are welcomed. These classes are for all levels.
