This class is about painting the figure and portrait Alla Prima (wet into wet) and the techniques used to create a fresh, direct response to our subjects. There will be painting demonstrations and lots of class time for students to work from a live figure and portrait model. The class will work on a different painting/pose each day of the workshop and learn to simplify and interpret the figure/portrait as a series of basic shapes and planes described by light and shadow. This class will be particularly helpful for those who want to expand from a tight painting style to a more loose, economical paint application. https://www.davidshevlino.com/
