Class Description

Description

This course will help you gain new experience with instantaneous creation of human types. If your interest is not in anatomical drawings, but in creating rapid, expressive, yet lifelike characters, this is a course you will like. Those who would love to practice portraiture, who want to enjoy quick gratification that this ingenious technique provides, those who prefer a more contemporary approach to portraits but are not willing to sacrifice quality, who want to build a muscle for sketching people faster and better, using paint not pencil, will gain the ability to accomplish that in these four weeks. 


The course will be conducted at a fast pace, with daily demonstrations by the teacher, in a tempo that will resemble “conveyor production”. The results you will achieve will be based on a good amount of rigorous practice, building confidence and freedom with rendering faces in profile. This course is rooted in the two concepts of psychology of accelerated art training: 1) learning through playing, and 2) achieving quality from quantity. 


Those who attended our famous “Learn to Paint in One Day” workshop will recognize this unique method that feels like you have a magic wand: it creates this shift from “I can’t” to “I CAN” through the use of specific words, real-time demonstrations, building speed and gaining trust, affirmation of the efforts, and the subsequent opening the Right-hemisphere - to help you tap into your rich inner potential and open the mind’s ability to create freely without inhibition.
