Mary and Casey will demonstrate together their approach to painting the portrait from life each morning of the workshop for 3 hours. In the afternoon, students will paint from the same model and Casey and Mary will alternate each day between walking around giving each person personal critiques and painting along with the class. Students will get to see how both Mary and Casey finish a portrait beyond a 3 hour sketch. Each day will have a different pose to allow students to practice by repetition correct drawing and value relationships while working from a life model. Students will have 4 different angles/poses to painting from during this workshop.
Artists, ranging from beginning to advanced, will have the opportunity to work from a live model, and will receive one-on-one instruction gaining a fuller knowledge of traditional portraiture.
