Portrait Painting Fundamentals for Art Educators
Instructor: Natalie Italiano
June 20th – 24th, 2022
9 am – 4 pm
Tuition: $550 ($350 for Art Educators)
This workshop introduces fundamental portrait painting concepts based on the curriculum of Studio Incamminati. Through a progressive series of exercises, students learn the 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.
The content of this workshop meets the standards for the National Art Education Association. All levels of artists are welcome to attend; the workshop is not limited to educators.
