Painting portraits can be highly rewarding, but it can also be intimidating! Perhaps your past attempts have looked flat and formless. Maybe the skin colors have been "chalky" or "muddy." Perhaps you spent hours painting the perfect eye, only to realize later it was in the wrong place. If these struggles sound familiar, you are not alone. I'm excited to show you how to conquer these challenges and many more in this information-packed workshop!
You'll learn how to…
• Draw anything correctly with the 4 Actions for Accurate Proportions
• Mix realistic skin colors with my simple mixing methods
• Make your portraits come alive with 3-D form
• Avoid "chalky" or "muddy" skin colors
• Turn the form with warms and cools
• And much more!
I'll begin each morning by sharing vital principles for portrait painting. Then, you'll see those concepts in action as I demonstrate painting a portrait from a live model. I'll verbalize my thoughts and show you my process start to finish. Each afternoon, you'll have the opportunity to paint from a live model as I offer one-on-one assistance and critiques. Please join me for this wonderful time of fun and learning!
Artist's Biography
I am an impressionist oil painter from Kansas City. I love capturing the beauty of God's creation and sharing that beauty with my viewers.
I have been honored to receive national and international awards for my work, including Portraiture Award of Excellence at the 2018 Oil Painters of America Salon Show, Best of Show at the 2016 American Impressionist Society National, and 2nd Honor Award at the 2014 Portrait Society of America International. I am a member of PSoA, NOAPS, AIS, and a Signature Member of OPA. My paintings have been displayed in such venues as the Salmagundi Club in NYC and the European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona, Spain. I love sharing what I've learned as a full-time artist through workshops and through my online video course.
I received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Pensacola Christian College, where I studied under Brian Jekel. It was at college that I met my wife and fellow painter, Andrea Orr Clague. We have a 3-year-old son named Gideon.
