Week #1 Portrait Painting |
Merry Christmas and Wishes for an artistic 2018 from https://www.brianphillipsart.com/
In late November, I was able to return to art classes at the Baum School in Allentown, PA. And fortunately, I was able to take a new course offered, namely Portrait Painting. The first four weeks have been three-hour sessions using one color plus Titanium white. The last four sessions will have the same model and pose to allow for a "long pose" opportunity. Pretty exciting and I don't get too excited anymore.
It's a challenging situation to start a session with a blank canvas with the goal of completing the block-in by the end of the session. Very rewarding and tiring.
