Two-Day Workshop | FULL
Wendy Caporale - The Foundation of Portraiture
Renowned artist Wendy Caporale will work one-on-one with students eager to learn from a master about the importance of capturing an accurate likeness in a portrait. This class will also cover the process of rendering skin tones with a variety of colors and other aspects involved in classic portraiture.
NOTE FOR ALL IAPS WORKSHOPS: You must bring your own portable easel, and a board to support your paper. The room will be set with chairs which can be moved around to suit your preference. You can stand at an easel and use the table for your supplies, or you can bring a table easel and sit to work. Rubbing Alcohol will be provided for the students' use.
IMPORTANT: Please bring a plastic or cloth sheet to place under your easel, or table, to protect the hotel's carpet.
