Partners In Art at the Carnegie Art Center 240 Goundry Street, North Tonawanda $375 Learn to capture the people you know and love. We will be working using a reductive method by starting with a toned surface and rubbing out for lights and adding back in for darker values. This monochromatic underpainting will create the strong foundation that will allow you to develop the portrait to finish in color. You will master visual relationships, become familiar with anatomy and structure and understand the parts that make up the whole—skull, ears, eyes, nose and mouth. Discover how to paint light washing over the face and how to handle masses instead of lines. There will be demonstrations over the three days including individual demos on the parts of the head. You will work from photos of your loved one(s), which Lois will curate prior to the workshop. Space is limited. Sign up today.
