"Self Portrait"
© by John Glover, Oils, 14" x 18", 1995. |
| The fascinating
art of capturing a likeness. We will look at anatomy, proportion,
tone and colour mixing - moving from rapid sketches to finished
portraits. A class for students of all abilities working in
a range of mediums from charcoal and pastels to watercolour
and oils. |
| Tutor:
John Glover, a graduate of the
Glasgow School of Art, has been teaching drawing and painting
for many years. His work has been exhibited at the National
Portrait Gallery and at other venues. |
| "In
this increasingly transient age, portraiture with its variety
of mediums, is accessible to all and an ideal vehicle for capturing
such significant occasions or people for posterity. Whether
it be the permanence and power of oils, the softness of a pastel,
the delicacy of a pencil drawing or the luminosity of a watercolour,
one often finds that the character or age of the sitter suggest
the medium best suited to express it." |
