Spend 5 days working with Scott Waddell as he teaches his comprehensive approach to painting the portrait. In this intensive workshop, Scott will thoroughly cover each step of his process from block-in drawing to finished painting. Proportion, structure, and perspective will be the focus of the block-in drawing phase. Color mixing and paint application will be addressed as Scott teaches and demonstrates his approach to painting form, and its expression through hue, value, and chroma.
