Secrets to Painting Children
Workshop | Available
All levels are welcome to participate in this comprehensive study of oil painting children from photos with ARC Living Master, Tina Garrett. Students will learn how to take photos and videos of children in their own lives to use as references for this workshop, and reference images will be provided for those who need them. Students will learn the specific understandings needed to paint believable portraits of children. If your paintings of children look static, stiff and older than they really are, or if your flesh tones are dead looking, or you simply can’t figure out how NOT to copy your photo references, this is the workshop for you. Students will learn the tools it takes to know what not to paint in their photo references, how to make luscious edges, how to create a likeness in portraiture, create accurate color and control the palette and above all, transcend the photo and create a work of art. www.tinagarrett.com
