This workshop will focus on “seeing” accurate color in the skin tones and color mixing, while painting from a live model. We will look at how “light on form” breaks down into some simple relative values, how the values affect the color chroma and temperature, and how the color of the light source affects the local color.

 

Instructor will demonstrate how to use a chromatic palette of colors to mix the right value as well as beautiful, luminous skin tones. We will use a grey toned surface so that we can paint directly with color after doing a simple block in. Students can choose whether they want to focus on the portrait or the figure. Handouts provided. One-on-one feedback at your easels in a supportive, friendly atmosphere. Drawing experience highly recommended. Some experience with oils is useful.
