2013 Summer Workshop Dates
July 22 - 26, 2013
The New Mexico Art League
Portrait Painting Workshop
http://www.newmexicoartleague.org/workshops.html
Students will have 10 models for this workshop. There will be a new model for each 3-hour session. We will begin with a monochrome palette, burnt umber and white and graduate to more colors as the week progresses. Burnt sienna and ultramarine blue for the second day, the three primaries for the third day, a warm and cool for each or the primaries for the fourth day and ending with the Sargent palette on the fifth day. It is essential to have a good beginning and to create an accurate head study by simplification of abstract forms,and this is better understood without the problems of color in the beginning. Understanding basic bone structure, musculature and relationships between forms are the essence of good portrait painting. These methods will help the student understand how the head is constructed and fee confident in undertaking future head studies.
