“PORTRAITS MADE EASIER”
Two-Day Workshop
with Gene Dillard
October 18 -19 at new
Plano Art Association Gallery at
The Shops at Willow Bend
Portrait painting is not easy. But, it’s not as difficult as some think. The goal of this workshop is to make it easier for those who are experienced and easier for those who are not so experienced. Either way, it will be fun for all.
The workshop, sponsored by Plano Art Association, will be an exciting look into some of the fine points of painting portraits from life, especially mastering flesh tones. Great emphasis is given to managing the four properties of color: value, hue, intensity and temperature as they apply to accurately capturing likenesses in portraiture.
Two full days will be packed with demonstrations and hands-on instruction. Use of a live model is incorporated to provide the ultimate visual aid for easy step-by-step painting processes for both aspiring and advanced attendees. Hands-on instruction will be executed in oil on canvas. When you sign up, a materials list will be provided.
Gene is an award-winning artist who has taught art at Southern Methodist University, University of North Texas and The Art Institute of Dallas.
