This class will help you make competent painting of the human heads.  Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this class will help you develop your skills.  Topics include achieving a likeness, modeling light and shade, mixing flesh tones and applying paint through various techniques. Step by step demonstrations by artist/instructor Mildred Hankinson and examples will help you look closely and understand the parts of the human face.  You will get anatomical information and an understanding of the mechanical movement.  They will help you re-assess your painting and produce much more sophisticated painting from a live model. We will also learn to paint hands towards the end of the course.
