This portrait painting course focuses on color mixing from basic primary colors. The first day students will complete a series of quick color studies, working from still life materials, to hone their ability to see and mix colors. The next two days will be self-portrait driven. In the final two days, students will work from a model, or if one wishes, one can bring their own person to paint. In addition to time spent creating in the studio, there will be many slide shows and demonstrations during class throughout the week. Students new to painting, as well as experienced painters interested in exploring new ways of creating a color palette and new approaches to portrait painting are welcome.
