Workshop Webinar Description
Throughout this 3-week webinar, the instructor will demonstrate a series of exercises addressing ways of painting the human head as a solid volumetric form. We will explore topics of internal relationships within the head, edges, figure/ground and the connection between color and light, among others.
This webinar will be conducted once a week via Zoom for topic overviews, instructor demonstrations, slide presentations and project outlines. Each session will be recorded.
The instructor will explain technical and conceptual ideas and review historical and contemporary examples pertaining to each session’s topic. A series of project prompts based on interpretations of photo source images will be outlined for participants to work on independently.
**Note: there is no Padlet component to this webinar for participant feedback.
Some basic familiarity with oil paint will be useful.
