Class description: In these courses, the methods taught at the Water Street Atelier and Grand Central Academy of art will be explored. Students will be exposed to the entire process of drawing and painting a portrait from a single pose lasting ten days. The classes will include a full demonstration of techniques and concepts. The first week will consist of drawing on paper to establish accurate shapes, proportions, likeness and structure in a linear mode. When complete the drawing will be transferred to oil primed linen for painting, beginning with a monochrome wipeout to establish the overall light effect. The remainder of the class will progress carefully and rationally, applying paint incrementally through an understanding of the effects of light on form and creating this illusion of volume using values. This procedure will include lengthy discussions on the physical events that cause particular hue, value and chroma properties. Beginning to advanced artists are welcome.
Greg also teaches a portrait drawing and painting class at the GCA in New York City every saturday. Follow this link for more information
