“Painting Children in Oils.” This three-day workshop will be all about how to paint the younger model. As a mother of two and a seasoned commissioned portrait artist, Anna has learned how to capture the spirit of youth that is often so difficult to master in portrait painting. She will discuss how to draw a child so they look their age, how to mix skin tones and paint hair, and she will also share some strategies for choosing good photo references. Each morning Anna will demonstrate from photo references by painting children of different ages (a baby, a toddler, and an older child). Students will work from their own photos in the afternoon under Anna’s instruction, and have the option of doing three separate paintings (one for each day), or working on the same one for the duration of the workshop.
