Portrait Painting with the Zorn Palette

 Portrait Painting 
with the Zorn Palette 

with Sarah Sedwick
 (3-day workshop)

Friday - Sunday September 6-8, 2019

9:30 am - 4:30 pm

 At Patris Studio 3460 2nd Ave. Sacramento, CA 95817

 *** Join Oregon artist Sarah Sedwick for this fun and focused three-day workshop, painting the portrait from life. We’ll use the famous Zorn palette - three colors plus white - to create beautiful, naturalistic skin tones.

 There are many benefits to using a limited palette, and the technique can be applied to any kind of painting you want to do - landscape, still life - even abstract! 

The alla prima painting style, in which a work is begun and finished in one or two sittings, while the paint is still wet, is lots of fun and perfect for exploring the portrait in oils.

A combination of demonstrations, short exercises, and longer-duration paintings will familiarize you with Sarah’s approach to the portrait. Instruction will be in oils, but acrylics are also welcome. Beginning to advanced artists. Ages 15+.

 REGISTRATION NOW OPEN! 

3- Day Workshop Fee: $450 (includes all model fees)

$200 deposit holds your spot, Max 15 people

Includes: 18 hours of instruction in a beautiful studio, a full-color handout summarizing Sarah’s approach, free samples from M. Graham and Gamblin, plus a final critique with wine and munchies at the studio.

Announcing: Michael Siegel Still Life and Portait Painting Workshop

During the golden age of painting from the 1600s-1900s, painting took on a sculptural approach, where brushstrokes reigned supreme in carving out form and texture. This workshop will focus on a sculptural approach to painting, as well as the “chiaroscuro” approach of the old masters, which used strong light and rich shadow to create intense and dramatic paintings. 

In this workshop, MIchael will demonstrate methods and materials, and cover subjects such as: 

•  light vs. shadow, 
• painting as a sculptural language of brushstrokes, 
• designing powerful compositions using lighting, 
• value, color, edges, and paint quality, 
• and finally the use of oil painting mediums and varnishes. 

All levels are welcome, from beginner to professional.
