Portrait Painting

Name: Portrait Painting
Start: 2025-06-12T18:30:00-04:00
End: 2025-07-17T20:30:00-04:00
Location: Classroom 1

Instructor:

: Jay Durrah

This course will begin with the fundamentals of painting and teach students how to paint in Jay Durrah’s abstract portrait style. The lessons will explore painting materials, as well as foundational art practices such as color, line, shape and form. Then lessons will transition to tools for painting portraits such as grid drawing, shading and different ways to paint facial features. This course is introductory, so the goal is to facilitate the practice of portrait painting, not perfect it. Participants will apply the techniques they studied to create the final self portrait.

This class is for ages 14 and up.
