THE CLASSICAL APPROACH...
PORTRAIT PAINTING IN OIL PAINTS
Community Center / Deirdre Shibano
In this Portrait Painting series, we will review how to note the proportions of the
head, use techniques to locate and define the features, and work out all of the
challenges during the process of the underpainting. The underpainting will be
done in Burnt Umber, as the Old Masters did. This process allows the artist to
work out all of the drawing and compositional issues before applying color. We
will then continue to note the planes of the head, using the color as it relates to
the value and the skin tone, in order to create accuracy.
We will be using a limited palette in order to keep our color-mixing process
simple yet defined. Color will also be used to express emotion in the final
product as well. This method is used in all of the Ateliers in Europe and the US,
and can provide the artist with an excellent foundation and a toolbox of skills… I
hope you can join us for this series, which can benefit both beginner and
advanced artists a like.* Prior drawing experience is recommended.* A supply list
will be sent to participants
