Enjoy painting from a live model in this new 3-day workshop covering setting up and lighting the model, the stages of an oil painting including practical and effective color mixing, and paint handling techniques. Much of the class will be devoted to accurate "seeing" and how to achieve a representative and lively image of the model including practical anatomical drawing tips. Class focus is general and broad, but also focused on the individual needs of each student. This is an intensive class environment designed to give participants a large amount of information quickly in an enjoyable and inspiring setting. All levels are welcome, but some previous painting experience would be helpful. Bring a lunch & beverage to enjoy during the brief break each day.
Location: Paul Robeson Center for the ArtsAges: 16+Friday - Sunday, 9:30am-4:00pmJun 20 - Jun 22$295/$270 Member ( Please pay through the Arts Council of Princeton)

Portrait of "Chelsea Dreaming"

5/30/2014

I have not shown this in a while but like the effect I achieved with the Renaissance hood and the gold leaf. This is of Chelsea Allen, a co-worker and friend of mine while I worked in Princeton. She was one of my favorite models and I always lived trying to get her elusive expression.



The painting is 18x24" and is oil and gold leaf on canvas.
