ARC Living Master, Tina Garrett shares with her students the practical methods she uses in her award-winning portraiture to help artists make the best paintings they’ve ever made. This workshop is perfect for anyone struggling with realistic portrait painting. Students will learn to see and simplify values, create form, and understand edges and chroma to control your composition and create dramatic portraiture using Tina’s practical and easy to use strategies. Students will study flesh tones in multiple lighting scenarios including varied ethnicities and ‘under water’ light and painted faces. Tina will share her practical strategies to create an accurate color palette, understanding values, temperature and how they create form as well as two simple techniques for accurate drawing. Students will focus intently on the creation of an accurate palette. Tina will demonstrate the processes she employs in all her works, focusing on composition, values, chroma, edges, mark making, and demonstrate how to control your palette for accurate values and color. www.tinagarrett.com

Just a few short years after beginning to learn to oil paint in 2012 at the Scottsdale Artists' School, Tina Garrett began to receive recognition for her work by major art organizations such as Oil Painters of America, the Art Renewal Center, and the Portrait Society of America. A realist figurative and portrait painter, Garrett’s work and process is heavily influenced by the modern master, Richard Schmid, and she has studied oil painting in workshops under many artists who studied directly under Schmid including Daniel Keys, Jeremy Lipking, Michelle Dunaway, Romel de la Torre, Cathy Anderson and Casey Baugh. Tina holds an Associate Degree in Visual Communications from The Colorado Institute of Art and enjoyed a successful freelance illustration career before evolving into a professional, fine art oil painter. In 2015, Garrett earned an ARC Associate Living Master designation. Today, she teaches a wide variety of oil painting workshops at venues across the U.S. and abroad including the Scottsdale Artists’ School, Denver Art Students League, The Florence Studio Italy and Dutch Atelier of Realist Art in the Netherlands. Tina is a proud mentor for the Portrait Society of America Cecilia Beaux Forum, the PSoA State Ambassador for Kansas and Western Missouri, and Faculty at the Portrait Society of America Art of the Portrait Conference.
