Alicia Farris will share her studies of the human face and figure in this two-day watercolor workshop.  Using Alicia’s characteristic loose and colorful style, you will learn techniques to portray not just a likeness, more importantly, the personality and emotion in a human subject.  Students will benefit from demonstrations as well as discussion, individual and group critiques.

This class is intended for the painter who has at least a basic command of the watercolor medium; portrait painting is not a prerequisite. 

Sample photos for the first day will be supplied to all students who register, along with the supply list.  Students will have the opportunity to work from supplied photos or work from their own photo if they wish during the workshop.   Listing on website: https://www.afarris.com/event/187593/faces-and-figures-in-watercolor
