This hands on workshop takes the student through the skills, practice and information to improve their portraits. Each class will address an aspect of portraits: structure, getting better likenesses, master copies, anatomy, color choices and mixing, styles of portraits and expression. Art history, video demos made by the instructor, Q&A and a weekly project assignment, critiqued by the instructor, will be part of each class. This is an enjoyable weekly exploration presented by a master portrait instructor.
