Would you like to refine your portrait painting skills? Have you always wanted to get into portraiture and just don’t know where to start? This portrait painting class will teach the ins and outs of portraiture. Students will spend time practicing color, form, anatomy, style, and materiality. Dive into learning what it takes to paint a portrait while seeing how portraits have changed throughout history.
Students will develop an in-depth understanding of how to construct a portrait from life and from photos including mixing flesh tones, understanding value, temperature, hue, viscosity, in addition to the anatomy of the human head inside and out.
This Week:
Project: Practice drawing head and skull, lecture/introduction
Goal: Learn the basics
Materials: Graphite/charcoal, paper/sketchbook
Procedure: Class will begin with a brief lecture on portraiture. A skull still life will be set up. Students will do sketches of it at varying angles in order to learn the structure of the head from the inside out.
*You are required to bring your own drawing materials.
*Safety: Always wash hands after working with acrylic paint. Never eat, smoke, or drink with paint on your hands. Don’t put your brush in your mouth.
