This workshop introduces fundamental portrait painting concepts with the creation and execution of a narrative. Through a progressive series of exercises, students learn principles and direct painting methods necessary to paint a portrait from life. Exercises begin with a dynamic approach to grasping the gesture of the head and establishing main landmarks. Studies progress from monochromatic grisaille painting to value and color studies. Daily instructor demonstrations and discussions clearly explain an approach to study influenced by the teaching of Nelson Shanks. Concepts helpful to educators will be included, but it is not necessary to be a teacher to benefit from this workshop.
