Mastering Portrait Painting with Cynthia Padilla

Dec 2,4,9 & 11 (2 weeks/ 4 classes)

An investigation of the genre as inspired by the Great Masters of portrait painting - Matisse, Warhol, Picasso, Kahlo, Van Gogh and more. Explore a different technique each meeting, from realistic to primitive to abstract, so come open to new ways of working. Can't draw? No problem, begin with a simple gridded sketch, a time-honored method even the Masters employed. Demo in every technique using versatile acrylics and watercolor but feel free to bring in and work in the painting medium of your choice. This class will provide 1-on-1 guidance, positive group critique, video-supported instruction, all in an encouraging atmosphere, the signature style of this highly regarded arts instructor to museums, universities, and art centers worldwide. Consider signing up for the portrait drawing class immediately proceeding.
