Description

Create beautifully loose portrait paintings that are expressive, bold, and abstract. Sissy will guide you through the process of letting go.

People are fascinated by abstract faces, even those that are weird, scary and funny. We will work with images that you bring in or from the many I will bring with me.

The purpose is to become familiar with the basic parts of the face so that you can "break" them and put them back together in unique ways.

In this class, students will:

1. learn the basic planes of the face using an Asaro mannequin head

2. distort the face and make something unique.

3. learn basic drawing skills of the head

Students will walk away with 2-5 images that are straight from their imagination.

Supply List for Students to Bring:

This is a studio class and students will be using their supplies on the first week.

your current acrylic paint supplies plus:
a warm and a cool version of red, blue and yellow, white and black in acrylic paint
a variety of brushes
4-6 small canvas boards, wood panels, or stretched canvases (sizes: 12x12 up to 20x20)
drawing materials such as charcoal sticks, Posca pens, markers, pencils
Sissy will furnish newsprint for practice
