No matter your style, you will learn techniques to creating portraits that hold the viewer’s
attention. We will explore the use of subtle temperature shifts, broken color, and edge
quality—all which contribute to a more convincing and captivating portrait. It’s these subtle, yet more advanced techniques, that bring a portrait to life. Even if your viewer has an untrained eye and is unable to see these aspects of your work, they will certainly feel
them! They may not know why your portrait stands out from others, but they will most
definitely appreciate it.
Over this two-day workshop, I will demo as well as walk around and help everyone
individually. Whatever your skill level, I will meet you there and we will work together. While
our work will be intense, our atmosphere will be relaxed. I will also explain my process of
adding components to a piece to make a portrait become a story.
