Alla Prima Techniques - Portrait

August 10 - September 21, 4pm - 8pm
(no class Labor Day Weekend, August 31)

6-week series on single session painting with a live model. Each week will have a different emphasis for skill building different aspects of representational painting and drawing, designed to strengthen your approach in a typical 3-hour art model session. Some topics visited will be drawing, value, edges, color, mass tones vs. rendering, the effect of mediums, and alternative approaches to sketching. As always, there is flexibility available for specifically personal goals.

Class will begin at 4pm with a presentation on the evening’s objective. Followed by 3 hours of model time with additional time for feedback on the night’s work. From 4:30pm-7:30pm there will be a single portrait pose for the entire 3 hours, with a new model each week. Elizabeth will demo during a few sessions and provide ample feedback to guide you through a single 3-hour model sitting. When the pose ends at 8:30pm, we spend time discussing the results of our session’s work.
