Painting Portraits from Photographic Reference – VIRTUAL
October 24—Saturday, 1–5pm
This program takes place virtually via Zoom. Space is limited; to register, click here or call 828.253.3227 x122.
In this workshop, learn how to paint loose but representational portraits from your own photos. Through demonstrations, students discover how to identify and mark the promotions of the face, block in shapes of value to articulate the form of the head, and mix skin tones. While some painting experience is helpful, all levels are welcome. Students may use acrylics or oils.
