I'm excited to be teaching my very first weekend workshop: Portrait in Oils at the Georgetown Art Center Sat/Sun April 5-6.
I have been teaching classes to private groups now for a number of years. However, I feel myself to be at an exciting turning point. I've decided to make some changes in the format of my classes in order for my students to be able to get even further in their work.
In my intermediate figure class specifically, I was feeling like we didn't have enough time to be able to methodically move through value study adding color, temperature and edges as we go in only four weeks. Not wanting to take too much class time, I have made my demos very short. But I'm realizing that there is so much more I need and want to show my students. So, alas, the class will now be six weeks instead of four. Yippeeeee!!!
As for the portrait workshop, I hope that students will be able to improve upon their overall approach to painting portraits with an emphasis on rich, harmonious color. We will approach painting by learning to see our environment as composed of simple shapes and values, which will lead to stronger color statements and weightier paintings.
So, come one, come all!!!
