Portrait Painting in Gouache
Weekend Workshop | Available
LOCATION NOTE: This class will be taking place at our brand new South Lake Union location, 2107 Westlake Ave.
Working from one portrait model over the course, you’ll get a hands-on introduction to color theory as it applies to painting a single portrait. You’ll learn to recognize and control color relationships by working with limited palettes and have the time to study and explore the shapes, angles and proportions of a single portrait.
- Mixed Media paper is another good alternative. I also like using the thick, moleskine sketch notebooks. Some light weight sketch paper for loosening up
