PAIC 0066 - Portrait Painting and Drawing

Instruction Method In-Person

Course Description

Portraiture is specific and general, timely and timeless. It informs us about a particular individual while revealing something about us all. The portrait, whether a painting or drawing, involves technical, organizational, spiritual, and philosophical concerns basic to any work of art. The initial objective is to produce a physical resemblance to the model, but it is even more important to progress toward the elusive “other” inner life, sometimes at the expense of physical likeness. The class introduces several approaches to help you discover a natural and personal direction. Personal choices for materials include drawing materials (charcoal, pencil, pastel, etc.), water-based paint (gouache, acrylic, inks), or oil paint. Level: intermediate.

This course may employ nude models for educational purposes. Please contact the instructor with any questions or concerns.

Basic Enrollment Requirements: None.
