Above: examples of Benjamin's portraiture in oils.
- Recommended level: This workshop is recommended for painters who already have experience working from life. For a beginner-friendly course, we offer a separate Alla Prima Portrait workshop.
In this intensive three-day course with French painter Benjamin Gouttard, we will explore fundamental principles of figurative painting with the goal of awakening a more intuitive working approach. From drawing to painting, Benjamin will propose his way to approach the realization of a portrait in oils, from the basic principles of proportions and composition, to the study of flesh tones, likeness, and presence.
Beyond the technical aspects of painting, Benjamin will encourage students to explore what the presence of the models sitting in front of us can allow to bring to life on the canvas: how to feel free not just to copy the model, but to understand him or her, in order to combine a mix of both the painter and the model's presence into the final painting.
By working alla prima (wet into wet) in relatively short three-hour sessions, this approach to painting reveals a sense of spontaneity that asks us to get straight to the point, allowing for honesty to reflect in our works. Benjamin will give live painting demonstrations in the mornings for students to see every step of his process, and he will work with students one-on-one as they paint the portrait from life for the remainder of the course. By the end of the course, students will complete 6 portrait paintings from a diverse range of male and female models. - INCLUDED MATERIALS: DARA provides loose sheets of toned & prepared linen canvas.
