Learn to paint the portrait using the versatile medium of acrylic paint. Learn paint handling and color mixing while working from a live model to create lifelike portraits from direct observation. Nicholas Enevoldsen will present live demonstrations, individual critiques, and a series of lectures designed to equip students with techniques for mixing flesh tones, paint application, and how to imbue their work with a compelling sense of light, atmosphere, and form.
