“Many of the paintings in galleries across the world are portraits. Nowhere is our story more eloquently written then in the human face” David Goatley
Working from a live model, we will explore the basic proportions of the head; drawing convincing features; using tone to describe form and structure; and all that goes into making a lively and engaging portrait. Working alla-prima in black and white paint, will help us grasp tonal concepts. Then we will progress to colour and other related aspects on the second day.
We will work with clear step by step, hands on instruction, a wealth of technical tips, continuous demonstrations, and personal instruction at each student’s easel. Questions are encouraged at all times.
David will be working in and teaching from his base medium of Oils, however he is open to people working in acrylic and pastel.

A supply list will be sent out to participants a couple weeks before the workshop. NOTE ****You will need to bring your own stand up easel for this workshop.
Only 13 spots available.
