Students will learn how to select good photos to work from and how to get the most out of their photo reference; exploring ways to enhance the image as they turn it into a painting. They will learn techniques to make the portrait painting process easier and more enjoyable. Historic examples of portrait painting will be used as guides for developing style and selecting the best photos to work from. Working in acrylic or oil (students’ choice), students can expect to complete at least one portrait during the course of the session.

  • Please Note:  This class is planned as an in person class and we expect that it will run the full semester in person.  However, there is an ongoing need to adhere to guidance and safety practices in order to safely manage the COVID-19 situation.  The guidelines from state government and public health authorities change as time progresses and the CAC may need to make adjustments accordingly.  It is possible that this class will transition to an online format at some point during the semester.  In this case, tuition refunds will not be issued unless the CAC is unable to provide the same number of class sessions as initially planned either in person or in a remote format.
