This will be a two-day long pose oil painting workshop with a live model. Both days the instructor will demonstrate leading students with what they will work on each session. To start off, students will learn how to get better structure and likeness through the practice of abstract angle relationships as our drawing foundation. Students will then build upon this by modelling the surface of the face with a basic flesh tone value range. This is the basic method upon which more elaborate portraits can be developed. Also discussed will be adding color to our flesh tones, how to start this process and how to think about it based upon classical formulas and also pure abstract color perception.  We will end the class with developing the features further to create a focal point for the portrait.

Studio Incamminati

In this 5 day portrait painting workshop, students will learn how to get a better likeness through more accurate drawing, how to use flesh tones to build the forms, exploring color through studies and how to apply color to a longer pose, and finally putting it all together with further development and finishing. Students will leave with a total of four paintings, a better understanding of the individual areas of study and putting it all together to create one seamless process. This workshop will focus on day long paintings leading up to a 2 day pose.

This Portrait Painting Workshop will focus on a five day long pose, working with a live model. Every morning the instructor will demo from 9am til 11:00am in order to lead students with what they will work on for the day, and illustrate the painting process from start to finish. The first day will focus on the grisaille stage, which uses a brown paint to establish the drawing. The instructor will illustrate how to get better proportions by calibrating abstract angle relationships, working from larger to smaller, basic anatomy and gesture. The second day the class will use flesh tones to block-in the planes of the structure, begin modeling the forms 'toward the light source', establishing a value range and further developing the anatomy. This will create the portrait as an under-painting. The third day a basic color theory will be introduced and color will be incorporated into the building process. Finally, students will be guided on how to build the 'finish pass' over the course of the last two days. At this stage students will learn about paint handling wet-into-wet and scumbling, modeling the form toward the light source, continued discussions about anatomy, managing color and flesh tones together, best practices for rendering, development of focal points and and achieving an overall finish. The instructor will teach with visual demonstrations every morning as well as with each individual student throughout the day. Students will leave with one ‘long pose’ portrait painting and a more thorough understanding of the painting process from start to finish with the portrait as our subject. This workshop is for beginner to advanced students. Some basic drawing experience is beneficial.

A three day portrait workshop. In this workshop, students will work from a photo (a selection will be provided by instructor or you can bring your own) to create a unique work of art. The photo must be a portrait and must be black and white. This workshop will guide students on how to get the drawing ‘right’ and then to work over top with your own personal color choices to create a creative portrait that also maintains a good ‘likeness’.
The end result will be in full color. The instructor will work in oils; yet students may work in oils, acrylic, pastel or other materials also being welcomed. Each morning the instructor will demonstrate in order to lead the students with what they will work on that day.

This workshop will be both fun and instructive.

Alla Prima Portrait Painting

Alla-prima or Wet-on-wet (is Italian, meaning at first attempt), is a painting technique, used
mostly in oil painting, in which layers of wet paint are applied to previously administered layers of wet paint. This technique requires a fast way of working, because the work has to be finished before the first layers have dried. It may also be referred to as direct painting or the French term au premier coup (at first stroke). This three day workshop will apply this painting method to the portrait as our subject, painted from the live model, and each days lesson will build on the previous day. The first day, attention will be paid to proportion and drawing using only brown paint in order to achieve our first painting. The second day's painting will build upon this start, and then also work with flesh-tones in order to build the forms of the surface anatomy. The third day's painting will build upon this by starting the same way, and then also introducing a greater range of color. Repeated practice over the three days makes for increased ability.
The result by the end of the workshop is a greater facility of painting the portrait from life and a better understanding of the building stages from start to finish, combining drawing, modeling surface forms, anatomy, color, and developing a focal point. Each student will leave with three finished alla-prima portraits.

Master Figure Painting: The Long Pose

Instructor: Kerry DunnSunday - SaturdayAugust 18 — August 24, 2019Time: 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.Tuition: $899 Save $200 by taking both the Master Long Pose Figure and Master Portrait workshops for only $1,598

The instructor demonstrates from start to finish over the course of the seven days. Every morning the instructor demos from 9 - 11 a.m.  to introduce students to their day's work.

The first day focuses on the grisaille stage, which uses a brown paint to establish the drawing. The instructor  illustrates how to get better proportions by calibrating abstract angle relationships, working from larger to smaller, basic anatomy and gesture.

The second day the class uses flesh tones to block-in the planes of the structure, begin modeling the forms 'toward the light source,' establishing a value range and further developing the anatomy. This creates the figure as an under-painting; color is then incorporated at a later stage.

The third day, a basic color theory is introduced, at which point the class takes a short break from the long pose to explore a separate color study of the figure. Students then apply what they have learned about color to the figure and its environment of the long pose, resulting in a full-color under-painting by the end of the fourth day.

Finally, students are guided on how to build the "finish pass" over the course of the last three days. At this stage, students learn about painting wet-into-wet vs. scumbling, modeling the form toward the light source, basic anatomy, and managing color and flesh tones together, rendering edges, and finishing.

This workshop has been expanded to give students more time to develop their figure painting to a fuller finish. The instructor teaches with visual demonstrations every morning as well as with each individual student throughout the day. Students leave with one fully finished painting, one color study and a more thorough understanding of the figure  painting process from start to finish.

Additional workshop events:

Tuesday, Aug. 21, 6 - 9 p.m. - Figure demonstration featuring Studio Incamminati faculty

Wednesday, Aug. 22, 6 p.m. - Kerry Dunn presentation on his body of work and how it relates to the workshop lessons.
