| I can dream myself awake mixed media self portrait on canvas 20" x 20" |
Self-portrait painting is so fun! Yet, many people get queasy at the thought of painting their own image. I invite you to embrace your personal history and creative perspective through this workshop which explores a process-oriented approach to self-portraiture.
Students will develop basic drawing and painting skills and construct expressive interpretations of themselves. Working from a mirror, students will amass a large variety of sketches and studies on paper emphasizing basic drawing skills, mark-making and color-mixing. Later, students have the option to cut up the sketches and compile them into new mixed-media compositions.
