Working with the model, we’ll delve into the processes and techniques essential for creating a portrait in oil. Through keen observation, students will begin with a monochrome underpainting and progress to finish the painting using alla prima (wet on wet) method. Emphasizing precision in painting from direct observation, the workshop will cover various topics such as proportion, value structure, and color temperature. From initial thumbnail sketches to a finished painting, students will receive comprehensive instruction through presentations, demonstrations, and individualized feedback.
