4-Day Portrait Workshop “Capturing the Essence” with Artist Michelle Dunaway November 7-10, 2023 New Harmony Gallery / 507 Church Street / 812-682-3970 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. CT each day Fee: $850 includes $50 modeling fee Description: During this four-day intensive workshop, Michelle will lecture, demonstrate her painting techniques, and provide one-on-one instruction as students paint from life. The class will focus on Alla Prima painting, covering everything from composition and color mixing of skin tones to more advanced techniques such as color temperature which gives the visual illusion of the subject receding or coming forward in space. The beautiful intricacies of edges and brushwork will be a main focus as a way to lead the eye through the composition, making punctuations in paint and resting spots for the eye. This tool can be observed in nature and portrayed in paint to evoke emotion and rhythms in the painting. The class will do three paintings over the four days: two head studies and a two-day pose that covers advanced techniques for capturing a likeness, painting hands, and placing the sitter in an environment. Michelle will also do a slideshow of her work, including step-by-step photographs of her more elaborate finished studio work, while discussing things to keep in mind when taking a study back into the studio to make a completed work for the gallery. Beginners to advanced students are welcome as Michelle will work one-on-one with each student to help them achieve their next level in painting and give students specific guidance to meet their individual artistic goals. Class size is limited
