Workshop Description

Portraiture is one of the oldest subject in the history of art. The choice of the pose and the relation to background, the color, the light and even the shadows is what distinguishes a mere portrait from a true work of art.

In this course we will observe and uncover the subtleties of form and color in the human face, and the transcription of three dimensionality onto the two-dimensional canvas.

The course will offer step by step examples of the development of the portrait from the beginning with the linear drawing of the frame and the application of paint onto the linear frame and finally the elevation to an artistic statement.

Workshop Outline

Week 1 -

We will observe and study some of the great portraits in the history of art and the evolution from the very linear rendition of Proto-Renaissance to a more subtle abbreviated and atmospherically infused renditions of the later period. I will do some charcoal sketches linear and tonal.

Week 2 -

I will do a demo in oil showing the different stages of the evolution of the painting from the beginning, mapping of the (drawing) to the application of color.

Week 3 -

I will be refining the portrait and have a discussion on how to bring about the conclusion of the painting.
