LESSON 2.O:
PAINTING A SELF PORTRAIT (Live Broadcast)
Video Length: Three Episodes, 30 Minutes Each
In this demonstration, we will paint a self portrait using a semi-direct painting approach. We will paint directly into glazes with each sitting, focusing on the use of triangles of color, temperature shifts, edges, contours, and lighting.
Materials you will need for this exercise include:
1. A panel to paint on, lightly sanded and coated with gesso
2. A mirror
3. Brush cleaner
4. Paper towel or rag
5. Palette loaded with paint. My colors are, from left to right: raw umber, transparent brown oxide, burnt sienna, raw sienna, Naples yellow, titanium white, cadmium yellow medium, cadmium orange, cadmium red deep, permanent madder deep (or alizarin crimson,) ultramarine blue deep, black. Or, you can do this exercise with a limited palette using only the colors burnt sienna, raw sienna, white, and black
6. A variety of brushes. A cheap chip brush, a few large bristle brushes, a few fine sable brushes, and a fan brush.
7. Painting medium. Preferably a glazing medium like a resin medium. The medium I use is a mixture of 1/3 Venice Turpentine, 1/3 distilled turpentine, 1/3 stand oil.
