Starting Methods in Portraiture
Jan 9-13th, 2023
Instructor: Tina Garrett
Cost: $655
Location: The Scottsdale Artists' School - 3720 North Marshall Way, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251
The Scottsdale Artists' School is at the root of Tina's growth as an oil painter. She began taking oil painting lessons there under Romel de la Torre in 2012. By 2017 Tina became regular faculty, teaching one, 5-day workshop each year.
This workshop is perfect for anyone struggling with portrait painting. Students will learn to see and simplify values, create form, and understand edges and chroma to control your composition and create dramatic portraiture using Tina’s practical and easy to use strategies. Tina will demonstrate how to pose and paint from the live model as well as how to photograph the model and how to edit your photos with and without photoshop. Tina will teach you how to organize your palette to mix realistic colors, values, and temperatures for different skin types and how two easy strategies to achieve an accurate likeness in your portraiture. If your portraits look cartoonish or dead, you need this workshop. Tina will demonstrate three oil painting starting methods including open grisaille, accurate color wash and Tina’s favorite, selective start to help students discover the process that will help them achieve their best work. Each morning Tina will demonstrate and lecture. Each afternoon, Tina will work one-on-one with every artist as they paint from both the live model and photos. Tina’s goal is to be as generous with her knowledge as possible, walking each student through the concepts so when artists leave her workshops, they are able to take their own painting to new heights. All levels welcome! www.tinagarrett.com
