Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this portrait class:

Join this class and learn to paint a black-and-white portrait. Paint a custom portrait of your favorite face, It’s easier than you think. Your instructor, Christina Batch-Lee, will break the process into simple steps that even newbie artists can master.

We’ll work in grayscale, to explore mixing tones and build your painting “pixel by pixel” using a grid. A grid is a great way to scale an image up as well as help with rendering to capture likeness.

This is a class for everyone, no painting experience is needed, but even avid artists can enjoy exploring this playfully technical approach to painting. 

Are materials provided and included in cost of the class? No.
You must bring a printout of a black and white photo – printed roughly 5.5″ x 7″. You can always transform a color photo to black and white by selecting “grayscale” in the printer dialog box.

Photo that works well is anything with a full range of tones (white, black and everything in between). It can be a portrait, a pet, or anything you want to stare at for a few hours.

Canvas, acrylic paints, brushes and everything else you need will be provided.
