Steven Polson’s portrait workshop
Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to take pictures during Steven Polson’s intensive 2-day workshop but the paintings looked wonderful! Time flies…and the workshop came and went. Students were able to work on two portrait paintings, practicing their starts and learning about value organization, while working from general to specific.
Here’s Steven lecturing to a few students:
Thanks for a great workshop and we’ll let you know when he returns to Janus for another workshop some time later in 2010.
Portrait Drawing Demo, Dan Thompson
To follow-up Dan’s structural discussions on the skull and to complement the portraits we have been working on during our sculpture weeks with Steve Perkins, Dan did a drawing demo of Sesame’s portrait today!

Fridays are portrait days with Kate where we focus on color via an oil sketch after a quick block-in. Kate shows us how it’s done…
