In this workshop, students will create portrait paintings from life using traditional techniques over the course of two days. Emphasis will be placed on large shape drawing, value control, and accurate form-based color. Class discussions will include how to accurately judge values, value compression, handling of edges, and using simple and complex forms while working from life as well as anatomy and abstract facial structure
Darren will demo from the model in the morning each day and the students will work the remainder of the day with guided instruction.
