Working with a live model, explore various portrait painting techniques and approaches to creating an expressive painting with oils.



Emphasis is placed upon observation, structure, proportion, value and color. Line, gesture, value, and mass are discussed and explored. Paint directly from the model, working toward the goals of accuracy and personal expression. Learn oil painting techniques and proper handling of materials.



This is an excellent class for those who wish to speed up their painting process and become less tight in their work.
