Paintings under-construction
Busy professionals can find a relaxing outlet, that lets them relax and unwind.
Adults spend at least 12 hours completing their first tinted-bonded-marble underpainting. The next process is to apply Oil Verdaccio over the skin portion of the portrait. This can take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours depending on the size of the portrait. The final stage is to glaze oil color over the background and garment, then use solid oil paint to cover the skin. The time for this process varies from student to student and from portrait to portrait. Adults also create one tight painting then one loose or cheezy painting. This process helps to achieve instant gratification as well as create significant art. Students learn color harmony and composition, as well as set up photo shoots for the future paintings. The goal is to obtain at least 5 of the 8 objectives required to achieve significant art, that is pleasing, decorative, and museum quality.
