Portrait Head by Marlene Steele
Learn portrait design and painting, to achieve sophisticated, distinctive portraits!
Capturing the Portrait (in your medium of choice) will improve your portraiture skills through hands on understanding of positioning the head on the canvas, how to define major face planes specific to the individual, and color mixing for light/shadow and different pigmentation. You will see examples from Sketch Group portraits completed in 2.5 hrs. from the Cincinnati Art Club’s weekly Sketch Group sessions and students will be encouraged to also create works in a short period of time.
The series consists of six class sessions starting Thursday April 4 – 4:00-6:00 PM. Students can opt to continue their work during the Sketch Group session following the class which starts at 7:00 PM. Class meets at the Club’s Wessel Gallery, in Mt. Adams, 1021 Parkside Place, Cincinnati, Ohio, near Eden Park.
