with Oscar Lopez Gurrero
8 Sessions >> Sundays >> October 3- November 21
11:00am-2:00pm, ARCH Art Supplies, $380
Liberate yourself from painting on an easel or wall and explore the freedom that sketching in oil on paper and mylar can offer you. Using just oil, gamsol, and linseed oil, students will explore the use of light and shadow, composition, and anatomy of the face. Working with a limited palette and from a photo, students will be encouraged to break down the human face using quick gestural brush strokes as they work on building up the image of a face.
NOTE: In accordance with San Francisco guidelines, all participants and faculty will be required to wear masks that fully cover their nose and mouth for in-person, indoor class time.
