Using acrylic paints, students will use color theory focused on creating realistic skin tones for use in painting portraits. These skills will help participants more effectively create realistic transistions between highlights and shadow, increasing the realism in their work.

As a note, this class will be focused on technique and students will NOT be leaving with a completed portrait. 

While this class assumes an adult audience, youth 16 years an old may attend with their guardian.
