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.
