Less about perfect proportion and detail, this class taught by Steve Forster leaves perfectionism behind and embraces conceptualism. It will be driven by artistic processes for creating the human form.
Each week will focus on a new topic relevant to creating artistic portraits with integrity. These subjects will include room lighting, soft light, color tiling, shapes and edges, facial features, backgrounds, and hair. Weekly classes will consist of a discussion of the topic of the week, followed by working on individual paintings simultaneously from the same reference photograph.
At the end of class Steve will offer critiques in which he will digitally draw on an image of your painting. Students are welcome to work in any medium they are comfortable with.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
