Kerry Dunn Workshop

Continuum Art

Three-day, portrait painting workshop with Kerry Dunn.

CONTINUUM ART NC

About the InstructorKerry Dunn is part of a movement of &#x27;new masters&#x27; that has sought to reclaim the methodologies of the old masters, almost completely lost during the 20th century. This movement is in large part due to the atelier system, small studio schools each lead by a master painter, that have been on the rise since the mid 90&#x27;s around the world. Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, is one of these such schools; where Kerry studied between 2003 - 2008 with renowned portrait painter Nelson Shanks. Kerry now teaches at the school. Kerry&#x27;s work is firmly rooted in the academic traditions of painting from life as practiced by the old masters. Kerry feels most drawn to the art of portrait painting; where characters are cast upon a stage and narrative is inevitable; and, the ever elusive challenge of creating a master work.About the WorkshopThis Portrait Painting Workshop will focus on a three day long pose, working with a live model. Every morning the instructor will demo from 9am til 11:00am in order to lead students with what they will work on for the day. The first day will focus on the grisaille stage, which uses a brown paint to establish the drawing. The instructor will illustrate how to get better proportions by calibrating abstract angle relationships, working from larger to smaller, with basic anatomy and gesture. The second day the class will use flesh tones to block-in the planes of the head, begin modeling the forms &#x27;toward the light source&#x27;, establishing a value range and further developing the anatomy. This will create the portrait as an under-painting. Finally, students will be guided on how to build the &#x27;finish pass&#x27; over the course of the last day. At this stage students will learn about painting wet-into-wet vs. scumbling, modeling the form toward the light source, basic anatomy, managing color and flesh tones together, rendering edges, and finishing. The instructor will teach with visual demonstrations every morning as well as with each individual student throughout the day. Students will leave with one long pose portrait painting and a more thorough understanding of the painting process from start to finish. This workshop is for beginner to advanced students. Some basic drawing experience is beneficial. Students will receive an email a few weeks before the workshop with details about the class and supply list.
