Join us to discover traditional skills and contemporary practice
In this online version of the class, students will learn my specific process for approaching portrait painting. We will cover how to draw faces, how to do an underpainting, rendering a painting area by area, and how to optimally manipulate oil paint.
The class will build upon the gesture drawing and drawing strategies learned in Animal Drawing 1, focusing primarily on techniques for other drawing media and exploring the various surface textures and expressions found in the animal kingdom.
Indirect painting focuses on the Old Master techniques of optical mixing and layering of oil paints. In this class, students will have an introduction on how to construct an oil painting with indirect painting techniques.
