Artist Lisa Ober, PSA, is available to conduct an enthusiastic hands on workshop during which she will share approach to pastel portraiture. Lisa will guide students through step-by-step instruction on her portrait technique, from the first sketch to the finished portrait using a photo reference (provided). Short demonstrations followed by plenty of class work time make this class fun and productive. Lisa will discuss achieving a likeness and proportion, color selection, pastel application, adding depth and expression— everything that is needed to bring a portrait to life. There will be special instruction on painting eyes, the most critical component of a realistic portrait.
Whether students are novices at pastel portraiture or have decades of experience, they will gain a wealth of insights and ideas as Lisa shares the invaluable tips and techniques that she has mastered through over twenty-five years of professional portrait painting. Every student will have the opportunity to complete a portrait with Lisa's personal guidance and encouragement.
Note 1: This class focuses on Lisa’s step-by-step method for portrait painting. Though instruction on achieving a likeness is provided, students should not expect a perfect likeness as the purpose of this class is to teach a workable portrait painting method and to provide tools that can be applied to future endeavors.
