the workshop with a mixture of yellow ochre,

black & white. Thin with mineral spirits or
Gamsol so it is more like watercolor. You
should be staining the canvas not painting it.
Keep it light in color. If you get too dark, wipe
off your canvas with a paper towel.

(see Choosing A Photo To Paint From)

mineral spirits (thank you!)

Titanium white, yellow ochre, cadmium
red light, mars black, ultramarine blue
- Canvas (I recommend an 11x14
canvas.) You can tone it 3 or 4 days before

Class Outline: My goal is to give

students a workable process for painting
the portrait from a photograph. It is key
to start with a good drawing or you will
be frustrated to the bitter end. I will
share some simple tips to get you off to a
good start with the drawing. Next we will
focus on shadow shapes and values
before we finish up with color.

Lunch: We will order from Gentle Moon

Caf or bring your own lunch.
