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.
And PORTRAIT PAINTER is free!

Upcoming Zoom Workshop
Painting John Singer Sargent's Lady Agnew of Lochnaw
Learn John Singer Sargent's painting process beginning with striking the arabesque with a few, succinct strokes of charcoal and serving up the initial half-tones in the abstract. Those are Sargent's words.
From there you will proceed with tiling and spotting-in the color/value notes and planar forms, learning to see through the eyes of a sculptor. Working general to specific the portrait emerges.
My upcoming, four session, Portrait Painting Zoom Class begins Tuesday, March 25 @ 18:30 PST and continues to April 15th.
Class is limited to eight participants.
In addition to the Zoom recording the workshop is filmed in ultra-resolution video and is your's to keep.
