About this Workshop
Painting portraits can be highly rewarding, but it can also be intimidating! Perhaps your past portrait attempts have looked flat and formless, or the skin colors have been “chalky” or “muddy.” Maybe you spent hours painting the perfect eye, only to realize later it was in the wrong place. If these struggles sound familiar, you are not alone. I’m excited to show you how to conquer these challenges and many more in this information-packed workshop!
In this workshop you will learn to...
Draw anything correctly with the 4 Actions for Accurate Proportions
Mix realistic skin colors with my simple mixing methods
Make your portraits come alive with 3-D form
Avoid “chalky” or “muddy” skin colors
Understand warm and cool colors
And much more!
Adam will begin each morning by sharing vital principles for portrait painting. Then, you’ll see those concepts in action as he demonstrates painting a portrait from a live model.
“I’ll verbalize my thoughts and show you my process start to finish. Each afternoon, you’ll have the opportunity to paint from a live model as I offer one-on-one assistance and critiques. Please join me for this wonderful time of fun and learning!” —Adam Clague
