There’s something magical about creating a likeness of your model in paint. In this class, you will learn how to both achieve a resemblance, and how to bring that resemblance to life using light, color, and painterly technique. Aron will clearly demonstrate the stages in creating a compelling portrait, so that you leave the class with a new understanding of fundamental skills like mixing flesh tones, and the convincing rendering of critical details like the eyes.
