This workshop will focus on learning to draw and paint a portrait from life. The Instructor will be going over composition, drawing, likeness, organizing your palette, color mixing, value, edges, and producing a completed portrait.
In this workshop participants will begin with charcoal drawing to improve their ability to clearly see values, simplify forms, and achieve a likeness. Then they will progress to a monochromatic palette and continue drawing with paint. Slowly colors will be added to learn skin tones with a limited palette then eventually a full color palette. This class will consist of one and two days poses.
Along with painting we will be taking trips to museums and churches to study paintings, drawings and sculptures of the masters.

Sean Cheetham uses a very distinct palette, called a “mud-Palette” when working. This palette will be discussed extensively throughout the workshop. The benefits of working with this palette are value and color control. Sean will discuss harmony and unity in your final piece. He will teach you a simple step by step process to painting portraits.
