This five week course will feature live models, with a focus on the head. We will learn to mix colors in oil and compose the subject on canvas for the most expressive view. Students will create oil studies, rather than finished “portraits.” Proportions of the head will be reviewed and discussed. Expect to have at least three oil studies at the end of session. Wednesdays, October 2 – 30 1:30 – 4 p.m. $185/$140 Early Bird: $165/$120 if registered by 9/18/19
