This class is about painting the portrait alla prima (wet into wet) and the techniques used to create a fresh, direct response to our subjects.  After a demonstration, the class will work from a live model.   Emphasis will be on simplifying and interpreting the face and head as a series of basic shapes/planes described by light and shadow.  In addition to discussing value, color and paint application, we’ll also talk about basic proportions of the head and facial features. By learning to simplify what we see, we become better able to paint our subjects with greater clarity and directness.  This class will be particularly helpful to students who wish to paint more loosely and to use their brushstrokes with economy.
