This class is designed to help advanced level students further develop their extensive skills towards more completed works of art. You should have experience painting portraits and figures, as well as knowledge and ability in the use of composition, proportions, values, colors, and edges. You will concentrate on capturing a likeness in fresh vibrant flesh tones in oils or pastels while working from photos or live subjects. Mr. Varner has studied with many of today’s portrait masters and uses his experience to enhance each student’s quest for personal expression. Successful completion of Portrait Drawing and Painting – Beginning/Intermediate is highly encouraged.
