- Recommended level: all levels welcome
In this 5-day workshop led by Florentine painter Giulia Bucciarelli, students will learn to create realistic portraits working alla prima, or wet-into-wet. This bold painting approach was made popular by the Impressionists, and remains highly appealing to today's working representational artists.
In this comprehensive course, students begin the first day painting from the model in grayscale in order to better understand value relationships, following a live demonstration from Giulia. She will then lead students through a series of guided exercises on color theory, designed to improve students' ability to set up an effective portrait palette and mix colors accurately.
From the third day of the course, students will apply these principles to painting from the model in full color, with both demonstrations and one-on-one critique from Giulia. Students will alternate between painting both male and female models in both shorter and longer poses, completing a diverse range of studies from 4 different models over the course of the week.
By the end of this intensive workshop, students will be well-equipped with the tools they need to develop their own portraiture further: from learning to measure and draw from life with accuracy, achieving a likeness to the model, mixing a variety of convincing flesh tones, and conveying light and form. - INCLUDED MATERIALS: DARA will provide students with universal-prepared cotton canvas for the series of color mixing & tonal exercises in the beginning of the workshop.
The following materials are required for participation in this workshop.
Included below is a list of local art shops where supplies can be purchased in Haarlem or in surrounding cities. Some supplies are also available to purchase directly at the studio, and are listed below. To download the Materials List as a PDF document, please click the button above.
