Course Description:
In this five-day workshop combining both short and long poses, participants will learn to create portraits in oil that evince the beauty and humanity of the model with freshness, sensitivity and lively detail using a lucid step-by-step approach. Patrick will guide artists with demonstrations and in-depth personal critiques through each stage of the process – from creating a strong likeness with accurate drawing, to color mixing, modeling form and finishing details. Cranial anatomy, materials, paint handling, and the physics of light will also be discussed throughout the course.
