Painting the Study Portrait

Saturday, August 9
9:00am - 5:00pm
Van Buren Center for Art and Education

Instructor: Jason Sacran

This class is meant to be a learning experience and my hope is to show you an approach that gives you a different look toward painting and portraiture. In this class you will endeavor to capture a likeness of the subject in the alla prima style (look at the definition of alla prima below).
Fee: $65. Supplies not included. Class limited to12. You might want to bring a sack lunch.
Agenda: 9:00am - 4:00 pm, Saturday, August 9, we will be painting a portrait from life. Instructor will demo in oils. Lunch around noon.
Materials: Please bring any materials that you are comfortable with, acrylic or oil. Suggested materials list if you need one:

Paints - Alizerin Crimson, Cadmium Red Medium, Cadmium Red Light, Cadmium Orange, Cadmium Yellow light or lemon yellow, Sap or Hookers Green, Phthalocynine Green and Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White

Brushes - A good mix - ¼" filbert or round, ½" filbert or round, ¾" filbert, 1" filbert or flat...In my opinion you can never go wrong with filberts.

Surface - Please bring at least one canvas, or othersurface, whatever size. Suggested canvas sizes - 11X14 - 16X20

Other- Bring clothes that you do not mind getting paint on. Bring paint thinner (odorless) for oils and/or a spray bottle and cover pallet for acrylics. Towels (paper) or old rags.

Alla Prima- A method of direct painting in which the artist applies each stroke of paint to the entire canvas with the intention of letting it stand in the picture as part of the final statement, rather than traditional building of the image with several layers of paint. This method is also used for studies from life before a traditional rendering is done. Note: In the alla prima style you can layer, but it is different from the traditional style.
