Are you new to portrait painting and want to learn the basics to achieve a likeness? Or have you been painting portraits for a while, but struggling with your fundamentals? Join Ann Feldman to learn (or revisit) the nuts and bolts of portraiture, including drawing and measurement, three value massing, and how to choose the right color for these values. We will be working from photographs, with the goal of painting from a live model. Some painting and drawing experience is required. |
