Take your artistic journey to the next level in this comprehensive 8-week advanced workshop. Designed for returning students, this course bridges the gap between classical still-life painting and the exciting challenge of portraiture. Throughout the session, we will split our focus to master two major genres: Still Life: We will continue to refine our realistic techniques in painting stationary subjects. Portraiture: Students will transition to painting from a live model, learning how to apply their color theory knowledge to create luminous, realistic skin tones. To support our studio work, each session will include visual presentations and lectures. We will explore the structural anatomy of the human face to ensure accuracy in our portraiture. We will also analyze master paintings to see how color chemistry has evolved throughout history.
