Drawing children portraits

DRAWING CHILDREN

Perhaps the most challenging subject for the portrait artist is children. There are several criteria that need to be met for a successful child’s portrait: first, the drawing must be sound –The adult portrait drawing allows for small drawing deviances – not so with children; second, the expression is paramount. Children’s expressions are more primal. There are few of the subtleties found in the adult portrait. And, third, the end result must be as fresh as a biscuit – not an easy task. 18 pages.

Drawing Drapery Workshop

portrait drawing faces

Drawing drapery requires a skill-set as distinct as portrait drawing is distinct from drawing the still-life. Although there are similarities in rendering plastic form in portraiture, still-life, etc., draped cloth requires an understanding of the various structures of the different types of folds.

There are seven basic folds: the pipe fold, the 2-point fold (also known as the ‘diaper’ fold), the zigzag fold, the drop fold, the half-lock, the spiral and the inert. A draped cloth often contains numerous fold structures, i.e., pipe, zigzag, and half-lock folds. Most artists while drawing or painting drapery quickly become lost in the forest of myriad folds and creases.

Drapery cannot be approached the same way you would tackle a still-life. Instead you need to learn the characteristics and be able to interpret the rhythms and stresses of each type of fold. Regularly $47.00 On sale $19.97 (46 pages)

Applied Color Theory Workshop - NOW AVAILABLE AS A DOWNLOAD!!

Applied Color Theory

Understanding how and why color works in painting has been made much easier in Michael Britton's Applied Color Theory Workshop.

In this PDF Textbook you will begin with learning the basics of color and proceed step-by-step on how to build dynamic color harmonies. Using both historical master paintings and his own work, Michael clearly demonstrates and illustrates each facet of color interaction.

For the over 12 years Michael taught his very popular Applied Color Theory Workshop to both beginning and professional artists who have paid almost $300. In this download workshop, that includes a comprehensive Exercise Book (that you can print out as many times as you like so that the exercises can be repeated with greater and more refined complexity), Mr. Britton has significantly expanded upon the original Applied Color Theory workshop.

ME: A Synthesis of Painting - NOW AVAILABLE AS A DOWNLOAD!!

Learn to paint flesh tones

Almost 10 years ago Michael put together a detailed handout for his 3 - 6 month “Painting the Realist Figure in Watercolor Color” classes, explaining the methodology and technique he has developed to paint his unique life-size figurative watercolors.

He wanted them to have high quality reference material to accompany the notes they were supposed to be taking in class, and to help them in their work long after the class was finished. And apart from that, they wouldn’t stop nagging him for it.

Before long the word spread that his secrets were out, and we were receiving requests from even his non-students to buy copies.

Having had such a huge interest in Michael’s techniques for achieving such unbelievably controlled effects, we suddenly realized what a perfect accompaniment this workbook would be with our “Painting the Figure in Watercolor” dvd, especially as Michael didn’t get a chance to speak during the demonstration because of the shortage of time.
