Painter and portraitist, Adrian Gottlieb offers instruction in painting the portrait, beginning with drawing in paint and stressing composition, proportion, structure, and expression. Subsequent days will address blocking in the colors in order to create the big impression, modeling the forms in order to achieve a likeness, and creating a sense of light and atmosphere. Gottlieb will cover the canons of proportions and head construction, as well as medium, color theory, color mixing and palette organization. Since long poses are essential to the accomplishment of fully finished paintings, the model will return each day to pose in the same position. Students will work alongside the instructor for the full four days. https://www.adriangottlieb.com/
