Portraiture
Leo Neufeld

Join Leo for a two-day plus intensive workshop that will focus on creating a portrait from life using a variety of media, such as charcoal, pastels and oil paint. Depicting the true likeness of an individual is the focus as students learn to see beyond the surface to capture the essence of the subject. The class will examine the relationship between armature and gesture, emphasizing block-in techniques and an understanding of the subtleties of light as it moves across and defines the form. We will also explore techniques such as massing light and shadow, line and paint quality, and the use of edges as a critical element of bringing life to the drawing or painting, as well as many others.  This class features a special introductory evening at Leo’s studio on Friday, the 13^th from 6-8.
