A portrait can be more than a picture with a likeness. Instead of just creating a solid shape with information designating hair, eyes, nose, etc., it’s possible to see the painting as made up of visual elements – line, shape, value, and color – all in a relationship within the space of the canvas. This approach is not just about learning to “paint outside the lines,” but also about learning to see the information in a new and different way. My workshop is based on years of experience teaching others how to recognize patterns, make comparisons, and interpret edges, color temperature, and shapes. There will be demonstrations, discussion, and presentations. This workshop is for artists interested in enhancing their drawing and painting skills, while also learning how to approach a painting in a more creative way. Instruction will be in oils and the class is for the intermediate to advanced painters. Pastels, water-based oils, and acrylics are permissible. www.carolynanderson.com
