Portrait Painting and Drawing class with Instructor Jack Montmeat

This class will have two different models for the first two weeks and then one model in a long pose for the next four. Portrait drawing will be the emphasis of the first weeks, while the last four will be on portrait painting. Students can work on drawing or painting in any of the classes. Portrait drawing techniques such as placement of the subject on the page, getting a likeness, as well as tips for drawing each feature of the face will be given. Jack will also demonstrate his technique for drawing the subject directly on the canvas, starting the painting, and working in layers. Additional explanations on the materials of painting, as well as strategies for good color mixing will be given. All levels welcome.
