Oil Portraits

Intermediate Level

Studio

3 Day class (9am-4pm)

Tuition: $375

Materials/Model Fee: $35

An informative and fun portrait painting class,
focusing on capturing a subject's likeness and
personality in oils. The class will be divided into
two parts- the first half of each day will be devoted
to one model, the second half to a different model,
so everyone will have two paintings at the end of the
3-day workshop. Although overall instructions are
given, emphasis is placed on individual attention to
each participant. Particular needs and
questions of each artist will be addressed.
