Portrait Painting Class / Fall Schedule

For the last few years I've been teaching ongoing painting sessions at Patris Studios and Gallery. My classes have covered figurative, landscape, still life, and speed studies. I've shared how to paint in large format, plan and design projects, color theory, brushwork, and a variety of other topics. This fall I will return to the figure and focus on portrait painting.

I will be instructing on the fundamentals of portrait painting in a traditional manner. We will cover my process, color palette, brushwork, painting from a model, painting from a photograph, proportions and measuring. I will demo throughout the class using oil paint. Pastel, acrylic, and watercolor painters are welcome to attend. Everyone will receive ample easel side assistance throughout the class.
