In this course, students will learn how to paint portraits in the acrylic medium. The course will cover the structure of the face, light and shadow, color temperatures, and expressive mark-making techniques that apply to oil as well. The course will address the logistical challenges and advantages of working in acrylic and how to maximize the latter while working from both life and photos. The second part of the class will involve using the acrylic medium to develop larger-scale works from photos and with longer live painting sessions.
