"The Classical Illusionist" With instructor Carlos Palazio

Every Monday, 6:30- 9:30pm

So, you want to be a portrait of figure artist? This class is essential for you. Speed up the learning process, “cut to the chase” and enroll in our new Sight Size measuring for the figurative artist and become a “Classical Illusionist”
Painting the cast using Sight-Size develops the ability to see shapes and proportions accurately, by continuously comparing the drawn shapes with the cast. This class will develop the accuracy of drawing skills, the ability to correctly judge and paint values, and finesse transitional tones and edges to give the painting the illusion of three-dimensions.

The three main objectives of this class:

1. Drawing - draw the shapes of the cast in correct proportion, beginning with the big shapes then the smaller shapes.

2. Values- Learn to correctly judge values by using 5-7 tone scale which we will mix on the palette. We will begin by first establishing the three major value relationships: the light shape, the shadow shape and the background.

3. The Illusion of three-dimensions: Finally we paint the transitional halftones and soften the edges of the form. This step gives the painting three-dimensional qualities, and the form will take the 3D qualities of an object sitting in a space.

These are essential skills to have in your tool box as you move forward to painting
portraits, still life, illustrations, etc.
