Description:

In these sessions we will explore value-based “light on form” painting methods to create expressive, accurate portraits from a live model. Robert will also present a few salient drawing and painting exercises in the morning sessions. The focus will be on gaining a deeper understanding of observable values to achieve form, character and likeness. Robert will get each participant to think like a painter, presenting a short demo, paint-along style. Honest observation and abstraction of forms will be the key. Concrete, practical application, rather than meaningless theory, will be the order of the day. The instruction will be tailored to allow for a deepening of the individual’s unique approach and response to the subject at hand. Expect lots of individual attention and nothing less than a major epiphany regarding how the subtle manipulation of light on form actually works in depicting realistic subjects that seem to jump out of the canvas. See class and workshop description for more of what we’ll be discovering together. (313) 689-2993.  Here's my Materials List
