Skill Level: All levels welcome
Instructor: Eve Albrecht

This class will explore the “Alla Prima” portrait painting method which means mixing the right color and value right away with an extremely limited palette of three colors and white known as the “Zorn Palette.” Students will explore mixing natural-looking flesh tones for different skin tones. Students will discuss and practice color mixing, color theory, and values (the lights and darks). Artists will learn how to navigate what they are seeing. The class will talk about what questions artists can ask to help themselves to better see the colors, values, edges, and proportions of the model. Learn quick easy methods of matching and mixing the colors that you see and color theory.

Artists will work from my photos and learn practical methods to find the right color and value.  Using photos, the class will concentrate more on painting and finding the right color as opposed to drawing.

COVID-19 precautions are in place and masks are required.
