Description:
In this class you will learn different techniques and approaches to painting portraits with acrylics. Portraits are probably the most intimidating subject for begging students, but in this class, I take the mystery and challenge out of portrait painting. Step-by-step I will walk you through painting portraits, making it fun and far less scary. The goal is to capture both the feeling, form and colors of portrait painting. We will cover the basics of working with acrylics, sketching, color theory and a bit of art history.
Each week we will work on a different image. We will start by looking at inspiring images from art history that will demonstrate techniques. Then I will demonstrate the techniques and then you will try them out. This class is great for beginners, but I will work with more advanced students to help you hone your skills.
