Portrait Painting Workshop

Explore the art of portraiture. Using oils and/or acrylics, learn to paint realistic portraits that capture the likeness, personality and psychology of a sitter. This class will draw on the norms of classical portraiture, recreated in a contemporary setting. It will also cover painting skills like colour choice and composition. You will complete a number of assignments based on photographic images and your own reflection in a mirror. Open to students of all levels. Supplies are needed.
