Students will be exploring the art of painting the portrait from life. This course is primarily focused on painting the head in a convincing, representational manner. Initially, emphasis will be placed on shape and tonal relationships. The class will focus on creating a portrait from the early stages of setup to the finishing strokes.

Classes will include a 1.5 hour demo each week, interchanging between grisaille and a full palette painting. After each demo, students will start working on their paintings where Kai will be sharing his tips and tricks on everything he knows, allowing students to gain a level up on their skills, no matter their experience.
