Oil Portrait Painting
David Wenstrom
Instructor bio [+]
David Wenstrom studied at the R. H. Ives Gammell Educational Studios, Boston, under master painter Robert Cormier for 8 years in a traditional atelier setting. He also studied with the Cape Ann plein-air painter David Curtis. David's teaching derives from the best traditional studio drawing and painting fundamentals, not on encumbered manifestos or "do-as-you-will," but employing the American art system of whatever works for the individual student. His teaching uses nature (the outside, representational world) in a systematic manner of visual training.
We will be painting head-and-shoulders representational oil portrait sketches using a limited palette of oil colors. Later on, a more comprehensive palette can be used by more advanced students. This class uses life models, exploring both character and likeness. No acrylics or watercolors, please. Drawing and painting experience is highly recommended. A list of materials will be sent to registrants. Limited to 14.
