Portraiture: Painting in the Classical Tradition,
Tuesdays, 6 - 9 p.m. 7/22/2025 to 8/19/2025
Instructor: Sophia Weisensel
Skill level: AB, I, AD
Add faces and portraits to your repertoire of imagery! Learn to see and interpret the forms that comprise the human face, and put this to work in your paintings. We’ll start by drawing, to build confidence in capturing a likeness, and move on to acrylic and oil painting. Throughout the class we’ll cover composition, anatomy, traditional techniques for color mixing and glazing, as well as creating psychological interest in our work. Bring your oil or acrylic painting materials, and whatever reference photos you'd like to work from - the instructor will provide some images too. See suggested materials list on the website.
