Portrait Drawing
Kerry Vosler
To be announced
9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
$150 Model fee included
Beginning to Intermediate
Professionals who want to brush up on anatomy.
Learning to draw the portrait is really about understanding the entire skull, neck and shoulders. This course is six weeks long so we can focus on the skull, anatomy and the simplification of planes of the head in the first few classes. Before tonal value relationships it is imperative that we learn to construct the head with understanding. Before the details everyone loves to do first we must accurately state the gesture and proportions of the head through direct observation of the model. The first part of this course will focus more on line and the second on massing with the medium of charcoal. More instruction on muscles and features will be given at the end of this course. Easels and taboret provided.

This will be a regular Saturday en plein air (landscape) class. In the coming months we will focus on more complex subject matter such as landscape, clouds & sky, buildings, figure and portrait in landscape. Getting to know our colors and techniques with the palette knife and brushes will be an important starting point. This class is for beginners, intermediate and advanced plein air painters. Kerry will work with you at your easel at your level.
This October course will focus on impressionist color theory. Painting from colorful still life setups in our yard outdoors artists will gain knowledge of the unique characteristics of each color on their palette. With each new still life we will explore how to organize and simplify the still life. Shapes, values, color saturation and temperature along with edge work will be discusses and demonstrated by Kerry in the medium of oil. A full list of supplies will be available upon registration. Artists may work with a minimal or a full palette of colors. In inclement weather we will have access to our atelier upstairs. Bathrooms are just inside the building. Pastel and watercolorist are welcome. Supplies upon registration.
