Studio Incamminati

Monday evenings 6 - 9 pm

This course will focus on how to build a portrait over several sittings. During the course there will be two models/poses, with each pose consisting of 4 sessions. In each session a different stage of the portrait-painting process will be encountered by the student; each with its own disciplines and techniques demonstrated by Kerry.

Portraits can be challenging, and so we will employ the alla prima method to first tackle how to get better drawing. We will build on this by blocking in basic values and modelling with flesh tones, giving us the ‘form’. With this as our foundation… we can then discuss and play with adding color, and finally the flourishes of detail.

The instructor will demonstrate or lecture at the beginning of each class.
