Portrait Painting
Monday - Friday
July 9 - 13
9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
$550 ($350 rate for Art Educators)
This workshop begins with short studies analyzing the structure of the
human head, providing the student with a foundation for portrait
painting. Basic concepts and methods of figurative painting taught
at Studio Incamminati are covered including the monochromatic “grisaille”, value thumbnails, “duo-tone” limited palette studies and
color studies. Concepts covered include: understanding the structure of
the head in simplified planes, anatomical landmarks, value relationships,
color relationships, edges and paint handling. Students paint in a direct
or “alla prima” method, utilizing both a limited and a full color palette,
and complete one to two portrait studies each day, culminating in
an all-day portrait the last day. The instructor demonstrates concepts
daily. Artists and art educators of all levels are welcome to attend this
workshop. Experience in drawing is helpful but not required.
