EXHIBITION WORKSHOP

FALL 2024 exhibition Workshop
Portraiture Rediscovered

      It is likely that the first thing you ever drew was a portrait. When you first put crayon to paper you were compelled to recreate the people in your life. Yet as we grow and our visual standards become more discerning many of us give up creating portraits, feeling that it is too complicated. In this 2-day workshop, Corey Pitkin will guide students through his method for breaking a likeness down into manageable steps to recapture your enthusiasm for portraits. Students will paint along with Corey while he discusses anatomy, form, technique, art history, and the higher aims of art and both days will culminate with a group critique. A reference photo will be provided.
