Portrait Painting with a Limited Palette
Home Studio (Golden)
This class gives students the time, foundational knowledge, and tools to extend the limits of portrait painting.
Through a structured depth system, students will learn to break down the value and structure of the form, then construct it with purpose — building the portrait in a way that evolves naturally and brings it to life. Rather than rushing to finish, we'll slow down and build understanding at every stage, from the underlying structure to the final touches that give a portrait its presence.
Alongside this, the class will work within a limited palette, exploring its far-reaching possibilities and how it naturally creates a harmony that's difficult to achieve when working with too many colors.
Each week, students will work on one 3-hour portrait study, allowing time to fully develop the piece from initial block-in through to a finished, resolved painting.
Suitable for: All levels. Some basic oil painting knowledge is needed.
Additional Information: After registering I will send you a suggested materials list. One of the items included in the materials list is a portable painting set up. I do not store easels and such for students however if you do not have a set up I have a couple extra easels and can make something work for you. My studio is located on the second story of my garage. It's not a lot of stairs but in case this is problem I wanted to mention it. I can help carry materials up if you would like assistance. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

The Painted Hand
Taking the time to understand
Online Class
9/3-10/1 Thursdays
Have you painted the figure and left the hands unfinished or avoided the hands all together. In this class students will have the opportunity to spend time understanding how the human hand is constructed and what the streamlined building blocks are to painting a convincing hand. Through this approach students will walk away the ability to tackle any hand and to paint it with enthusiasm!
This class is through ASLD. Click here to learn more and to register.
