Class Description:
Have you ever wanted to learn how to create realistic portraits? In this preview to the Color Pencil Portrait seminar, we will explore the features of the face. So many of us are intimidated when attempting to draw the head, and even more so in capturing the likeness of the person. Unfortunately, many never try, perhaps because they have never been taught the fundamentals. In this easy-to-learn color pencil seminar, the following fundamentals of drawing the head will be offered: basic shapes and forms of the head; light and shadow; value and tone; the planes of the head; how to render features easily; and the secrets to capturing the likeness and lifelike personality of your subject, plus Mark’s “Four Color Process”. You will walk away with new skills and insight that will instill confidence when you “Create Your Own Portrait” the following day. |
In day two of the workshop, YOU provide a 5x7 or 8x10 photo of someone you cherish, and Mark will help you create a beautiful color pencil portrait. Using skills you learned during the “Portrait Details” class and Mark's easy to understand techniques, you will learn to capture a likeness; with vibrant, dramatic flesh tones; developing the features of the face; creating realistic eyes; and rendering the hair. Underpainting techniques, contrasting values, complimentary hues, dramatic lighting and many other valuable methods will be offered in an easy to understand manner.
Students may use their own photos or one of ours below. IF using your own, please see the PHOTO SUGGESTION SHEET included with the supply list.
