Tuition: $600
This workshop will explore the direct painting techniques of this 19th century painter. While copying a chosen portrait of his, the student will learn a systematic approach to painting the portrait in his manner, exploring brush techniques, paint application and a flesh tone palette made simple. The workshop is great for the Sargent enthusiast, and for those who wish to pursue portrait painting in a direct and efficient manner.
This new workshop is designed to give artists an opportunity to delve into paint and brush handling for achieving a representational, realistic portrait in a more immediate way. It will also help participants develop a good "vocabulary" for sketching from life. Painters who already use alla prima methods in genres such as landscape, but who now wish to explore the possibilities with portraiture will also benefit from this workshop.
