- Skin Tones Classroom
The class will begin with a slide show presentation and discussion,
exploring all the variables that affect skin tones. We will see how
the Old Masters portrayed flesh, will view and analyze contemporary
works, and see step-by-step in progress images of Lacey's paintings.
Then, we will use this information to analyze and mix our own skin tones.
Oil color palette choices for flesh tones will be discussed, but feel
free to bring your media of choice to work with in class.
09-11-2008
through 10-02-2008 - Portrait Drawing
In this 4 week class we will study the art of portrait drawing
from lighting and posing the model and what makes a good reference
photo, to proportion, creating a pleasing and accurate line drawing,
and using value to give your portrait form and solidity. We will work
from a combination of life and reference photos that we create ourselves.
09-12-2008
and 09-13-2008 - Sight-Size Drawing
Learn about a technique used by the Old Masters and in the
French Academy in this 2 day workshop. Sight-size allows an artist
to learn to see accurately and depict life on a 2D surface without
the use of a projector. We will start by copying a Bargue plate and
then move on to drawing a still life in charcoal.

November
Saturdays
in November - Portrait and Figure Series
Take one, two, or all classes in this series that focuses
on the realistic portrayal of people. The Portrait Drawing class will
focus on drawing the head in charcoal by creating an accurate envelope
and then massing in values to give form, solidity, and a likeness.
Portrait Painting will expand on the Portrait Drawing as we create
an initial line drawing in oil paint and then create form using color,
value and accurate skin tones. Everything becomes more complex as
the focus shifts to the figure, and sight-size will help to create
a correct representation of the figure with little confusion, so we
can then concentrate on expressing the nuances of anatomy and structure.
In the final class in the series, Figure Painting, we will try juggling
all accumulated knowledge using sight-size to create our initial line
drawing, massing in initial values and missing accurate flesh tones.
Models
are provided, and a limited number of easels are available for student
use. Please check easel availability when you register. A list of
materials needed for the classes available on the Hilliard website
and at the gallery.
