THERE’S A TRICK FOR THAT The Keys to Rendering Realistic Facial Features: Eyes, Nose, Mouth and Ears 

If you want to draw or paint expressive Portraits, it is not enough to try to copy what you see, trying to mimic every contour as you become frustrated with the model moving ever so slightly. If you know what to look for, you will render realistic form with confidence! 

Working from a live model, this Workshop will provide you with the knowledge and experience that reveals the patterns to every key Feature on the head. Through demonstrations, handouts, exercises and personalized crItiques, you will be provided with the strategy and insight to identify and replicate the unique characteristics of the sitter’s Head and Individual Features. 

The 4 session Workshop includes demos, handouts and personalized critique including: 

  • The effect of light on the form and choosing an optimal lighting set-up to reveal the key features. 
  • The overall structure of the head with keys to placement of each feature 
  • Compositional guidelines to optimally position the head on the canvas. 
  • Information regarding application of any medium to produce a convincing final rendering and likeness

Painting in Acrylics with Confidence and Freedom with Kirk Larsen

6 Wednesdays

September 16, 23, 30, October 7,14 & 21 • 1-4pm
$290 Members /$325 Non Members

*** Outdoor Classes are held in our Outdoor Classroom under a tent so that social distancing can be practiced. Face mask guidelines must be followed and tables will be cleaned between classes. Guidelines will be provided to all students upon registration.

Using Still life, landscape and figures as a point of departure, this class will explore the dynamics of using acrylics in both conventional and unconventional ways. The properties of acrylics range from watercolor-like to oil paint-like and can also be used graphically.

As one of the top plein air painters in the country, Kirk has spent a lifetime refining and adjusting his use of virtually all media to serve the artist in the most diverse and efficient way. Artists will work towards finishing in class painting exercises in single sessions, to build proficiency and control and supplement with a multiple session piece at home with in class feedback.and individual guidance.

One of the best qualities of acrylics is the ability to be manipulable and refine a piece in progress and learning how to let the paint do its part of the work (or play) can free up the artist’s creative flow. Adjusted for each person’s current skill, this fun, upbeat and unique class is based upon the KLM (Kirk Larsen Method) which accelerates the learning curve in art.

For early novice through professional artists.

Through demonstration, in-class exercises, and at-home practice (optional), the artist will learn to trust their line and embellish their visual accuracy and ability to translate what they see to paper or canvas.

In-classroom drills will help you to capture imagery, eliminate wasted lines, and also help each artist to find and enhance their artistic vocabulary. For the novice artist that already draws, right up to semi-professional & professional artists, this class can bring your acumen to that next level.

Working in pencil, pen, and charcoal additional media can be utilized. Adjusted for each person’s current skill, this fun, upbeat and unique class is based upon the KLM (Kirk Larsen Method) which accelerates the learning curve in art.
