Description

Are you tired of searching Pinterest for inspiration for your artwork?  Would you like to learn how to create interesting portraits from your own photographs?

Join Kara in this two-day workshop where you will discover how to take your ordinary photographs taken with your phone into powerful, bold portraits.  Kara has been painting portraits for the past five years, but when she began taking her own photographs, she truly understood how she could be in charge of every piece of her painting, from the very beginning.  She is excited to share this process with you!

 

In this workshop the following concepts will be covered:

 

  • Setting the stage for taking your own photograph.
  • Deciding what pictures to take.
  • Using the app Enlight to manipulate your photographs.
  • Using shape and line to guide your portraits.
  • Choosing colors for wash and underpainting.
  • Using an underpainting as a map to guide your portrait.
  • Mixing paints to match colors in photos.
  • Layering fluid paints to create the layered effects in Kara's portraits.
  • Adding details for drama
