Concept
Discover the intimate and compelling art of portraiture in this four-day workshop. With Stuart as your guide, build new technical skills and gain confidence as you practice capturing the portrait from start to finish in both charcoal and oil paint.
Experience
Devoted to solving some of the recurring drawing issues that come up in portraiture, the first day and a half explores gesture, comparative measurement, and the invaluable tools of a hand mirror and plumb line. The following two and a half days focus on painting the model’s portrait in oil. Using a standard palette of colors, discover the relationships of warm and cool tones; expanding on the value relationships learned when working in charcoal. Demonstrations and one-on-one instruction provide you with feedback and bring your practice to the next level.
Skill Level
Open to students with basic drawing and oil painting experience.
