COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Spring 2011 Portrait Program is a biennial "hands-on" opportunity for students and professionals,
unavailable in this format elsewhere. Spring 2011 students will observe and work alongside Nicole Michelle Tully
and Timothy Stotz daily as fellow artists,
as they design and execute portrait paintings of their own.
Students will profit from critique and lectures on portraiture and the features of the head, both in drawing and wet-into-wet oil painting
techniques, including: drawing directly on canvas or panel, color thumbnail ("poster study"), chromatic underpainting
("colorwash"), and single-pass painting execution, wet-into-wet ("form painting").
Critique and painting demonstration will be given five days weekly, and the studio culture
offers daily opportunities for questions, discussions and impromptu "work-in-progress" demonstrations.
