Teaching Artist: Ilya Lerner

Next time somebody says “You‘re an artist, I want a portrait of Aunt Betsy”
say “Sure”! Portraiture is a very special art requiring a unique skills set.
Working from plaster casts, live model and photos we will study proportions
and structure of human head, psychological essence of various facial
expressions, discover artistic value of portraiture and unlock the mystery of
likeness. The instructor will give demonstrations using traditional oil painting
techniques. Any painting medium, oils recommended. Course is open for
