Every painter has their own methods. Portrait painting can be done within an expansive variety of techniques and approaches. To paint intuitively is to choose between these strategies individually, and employ them instinctively. An artist must be able to adapt to the model, the set up, and be open to exploring new methods. This workshop will dissect a few classic techniques while branching out into more advanced methods. It will include discussions and demonstrations on drawing, palette choice, color, and mixing. Recommended for intermediate students.
