ABOUT THIS COURSE
Course Description
American painter and ARC Living Master Tina Garrett shares with her students the practical methods she uses in her award-winning portraiture to help artists make the best paintings they have ever made. This workshop is perfect for anyone struggling with portrait painting.
Tina will demonstrate how to pose and paint from the live model. Using Tina's practical and easy-to-use strategies, students will learn:- how to see and simplify values;
- how to create form in oil paint;
- how to understand edges and chroma to control your composition and create dramatic portraiture;
- how to organize your palette to mix realistic colors, values, and temperatures for different skin types;
- two easy strategies to achieve an accurate likeness in your portraiture.
If your portraits look cartoonish or dead, this is the workshop for you. Tina will demonstrate three oil painting starting methods, including open grisaille, accurate color wash, and Tina’s favorite: selective start. This will encourage students to discover the process that will help you achieve your best work.
Each morning, Tina will demonstrate and lecture. Each afternoon, Tina will work one-on-one with every artist as they paint from from the live model. Tina’s goal is to be as generous with her knowledge as possible, walking each student through the concepts so when artists leave her workshops, they are able to take their own painting to new heights. All levels welcome!Course Materials
