2008 Availability: July 7-11.
Artists will be provided with some tips and classical techniques for obtaining a likeness in pastel, oil or acrylic (any opaque medium). Perri will work primarily in pastel and oil. Following a demonstration of the basic steps, each artist will produce a portrait that leads them thought the basics of measuring, establishing a two-tone under painting, introducing cool and warm colors, and finding "lost" and "found" edges.
The focus will be on bringing in vibrant colors and storytelling to a process that is applicable beyond portraiture. Each artist is encouraged to produce a self-portrait that develops as each session introduces new techniques and they may bring also in a piece they are currently working on for critique.
