"LET'S FACE IT", A PASTEL PORTRAIT WORKSHOP
Dates: 6/6/2018 - 7/17/2018
Location: Online
United States
Website: http://www.artfulgatheringevents.com
This is a pastel portrait workshop designed to help take the fear out
of painting portraits! It may be more accurate to say that it is
designed to help give you the courage to try your hand at painting
portraits. There is technically no drawing involved. You will be given
a reference photo and instructions on how to transfer it to a working
surface. Supplies will be kept at a minimum for those wanting to get
started without a big investment.
This is the workshop I wish was available when I first started with
pastels. I will show you the entire process from the reference photo to
completion, share tips on framing and provide extra info in case you
get bitten by the pastel bug.
I'll be with you every step of the way so come along with me and "Let's
Face It" together!

"LET'S FACE IT", AN ACRYLIC PORTRAIT WORKSHOP
Dates: 7/16/2018 - 8/26/2018
Location: Online
United States
Website: http://www.artfulgatheringevents.com
This workshop is for beginner through advanced. The beginner will learn
how to paint with Heavy Body Acrylics and the more advanced can apply
their knowledge to my particular technique, which is probably best
described as "broken color". The most common remarks concerning my work
are on my use of brushstrokes and color. (Official definition: "Broken
color is the technique used by Impressionist painters in an effort to
capture the actual sensation of the light! The length of brushstrokes
can vary from painting to painting determined by the mood or feelings
of the painter on that day.")
The way I work lends itself best to what is called "Alla Prima",
loosely translated "the first", meaning the painting is done in one
sitting, rather than over a period of days, weeks. Since this workshop
is in acrylic, which dries quickly, Alla Prima is almost a given. But
the more timid or fussy can work on it for as long as they want and, if
they don't get too fussy, the results will look the same. I think the
speed in which they will be encouraged to work will be fun. Once they
get over their initial fear they will have to default to intuition
which usually brings very pleasant results.
I will explain why I recommend specific materials, demonstrate
brushstrokes and palette knife techniques. Students will be provided
with a reference photo which all will be asked to use for their first
painting. I encourage each student to share the stages of development
of this painting. Once students have completed the first painting, they
are encouraged to paint from their own reference photo, with guidance
and critiques offered along the way.
I will cover how to varnish and frame, cover the ethical use of other's
photographs, give an overview of gallery and art organization's
policies, including what jurors look for in a good painting and will
wrap up with what I feel are the most important things of all!
