For the serious portrait painter ...
A new issue every month featuring the technical nuts & bolts of painting portraits in oil. Whether you are a beginner unsure of how to begin a portrait -- well, you begin with striking the BIG shape. That's where the likeness and expression resides -- or a seasoned painter looking to push your painting to the next level -- i.e., the rhythmic interplay of fractal recursions and cool/warm color relationships -- the needs of the serious painter are addressed.

Upcoming Zoom Workshop
Strategy for Painting the Alla Prima Portrait
Alla prima painting is an informal, expressive painting ostensibly completed in a single session. To manage that a strategy is required.
Beginning with striking the arabesque, verifying the accuracy of your strike, the planar structures are quickly established from which the portrait emerges.
Step-by-step you are guided through each successive stage of the portrait. For training purposes the alla prima portrait will be studied in two sessions from which you will soon pick-up speed as the skills and strategy learned become ingrained.
My upcoming, two sessions, Strategy for Painting the Alla Prima Portrait Zoom Class begins Tuesday, May 6 @ 18:30 PST and continues to May 13th.
Class is limited to eight participants. $180
In addition to the Zoom recording the workshop is filmed in ultra-resolution video and is your's to keep.
