Location: Studio
In this workshop, we will focus on creating a portrait from life using a wet-into-wet direct painting technique. The class will start with a demonstration by Sean. During this time he will go over set up, materials, organizing the palette, drawing, coloring mixing and paint application. After the demonstration students will take their turn at painting the same subject while Sean walks around the room helping each person individually. On day two and three Sean will paint along with the class to lead them through the color mixes while still spending time with each student to help refine their pieces. We will be painting a new model each day.
