This class is an in-depth introduction to painting the portrait in oils, via understanding the structures of the human head.

By practicing several allá primas (meaning a painting done all in one sitting) you will become familiar with the shapes of the human head and its features. As the weeks progress, you will be given an introduction to a limited palette to mix the flesh tones of the model as a preview to the concepts we will cover in the next 6 week course - full color!

The instructor will give demonstrations explaining materials, techniques, and the anatomical forms of the human head.

Some experience drawing or painting from life is encouraged but not required.
