This class is an introduction to head painting with acrylic/gouache paint designed as a stepping stone from drawing to painting. We will start from the beginning and work up from painting in greyscale to using a limited palette of red, white, black, and yellow (aka the Zorn palette). The class will emphasize the importance of drawing and having a clear sense of structure and organization while painting.
This is a 10-video series that directly mirrors the same lectures from my live classes. They follow the same topics covered over a 10 week course and include demos and assignments but without any direct feedback.
