These Friday night classes have become my night to do whatever I think would be the most fun thing to do. This quarter I got most excited thinking about Unconventional Portraits.
This is not a realist class with look-a-like portraiture. It’s a series of creative ideas and experiments; a mix of unexpected drawing and painting techniques intended to produce unconventional results. We will look at unconventional portraits made by other artists, and be have a wide variety of stylistic inspirations for our work. Focus will be on manipulating source materials, and on using mediums and surfaces that allow for and encourage those not-so-accidental happy accidents. We will work from a combination of self portraits, photographs, and live models.
This unconventional portraits class lets students choose their own level of difficulty: brave beginners are invited to draw using forgiving materials such as graphite, ink, and charcoal. Intermediate students are invited to draw or paint with their chosen mediums (oil, watercolor, ink, & acrylic).
