Crystal DesPain
Painting the Child Portrait
June 13 - 15
Tuition Fee: $500
Skill Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Crystal will take you through her process of taking and choosing reference video and photos (with special considerations for working with children), composition-building using procreate on the ipad, mining masterworks for problem-solving, and painting the child portrait.
This class will focus on solving problems before they happen, and emotional storytelling through composition choices.
This workshop is designed to simplify painting, and help give you the tools to advance your own style, process and craftsmanship. Students will focus heavily on the most important part of the painting process- the part that happens before the final painting even begins. Students will be painting studies and learning concepts that will advance their own finished work. This class includes demos, and a deep dive into Crystal’s unique process and perspective.
Business (bonus!): We are also excited to announce that Scott Jones (Legacy Galleries, Fine Art Connoisseur and PleinAir Magazine), a highly sought after advocate and business consultant to artists will be joining this workshop.
