Portrait Oil Painting Class with Marilyn Eger


  • Lodi Community Art Center 110 W Pine St Lodi, CA, 95240 United States (map)

Instructor:

Marilyn Eger

Description:

The 1st Hour and a half, I will do an oil portrait demonstration from a photo. You will use carbon paper to transfer your photo onto your canvas that is toned with a mid tone flesh color, that should be dry before coming to class. If you draw well you can sketch the head onto the canvas using burnt sienna thinned with liquin. You will learn to mix colors needed to paint the head. You will create a portrait during the class. I will coach & critic throughout the class.
