Cancelled! Introduction to Portrait Drawing & Painting with Livia Mosanu

Presented by the Cultural Center of Cape Cod on three Saturdays, beginning April 3, from 10am-noon. There will be no class April 17. This class meets online on Zoom on. Your class confirmation email will contain the Zoom class link. Learn to paint realistic portraits from photo references. These references will be provided in digital format (both photo and Old Master Copy) to use for the duration of the course as you paint in the comfort of your home studio. Alternatively, you may use your own photo reference, as approved by the instructor. We will start the class by drawing and carefully observing proportions, the anatomy of the face and skull, along with light and shadow patterns. Time will be spent drawing and learning the structure of each individual feature (ears, nose, eyes, mouth). We will then transfer this drawing to a board or canvas and paint it using oil paint with traditional oil painting techniques. The class consists of lectures, demonstration videos, and one-on-one critiques via Zoom.
