Theme of the Month | Painting Facial Expressions
This month we will have a little fun by painting facial expressions and exploring emotions in portraiture. We will paint one portrait per session.  We will learn techniques to achieve lively brushwork and natural expression. 

As always Dominique demonstrates the painting process and breaks it down into clear steps. We use a limited palette to help us understand color theory and relationships. Each week students receive critiques. Enjoy lifetime access to the class demos and critique recordings.
