Offered for all skill levels: Learn to create a well-structured painting of the eye with convincing colors. We will begin by discussing the construction of the eye, to get accurate proportions and structure. Then we will move to color and concentrate how to mix colors and how to add details like the highlights and eyelashes. You can use any medium you like in this course. I will be doing the demo in oils and will provide a suggested supplies list for those interested in using oils.  By the end of the course you’ll have a painting of the eye that you’re proud of as well as a solid understanding of how to render the eye which you can carry into all your future paintings! The class will include a demonstrations, discussions and individual instruction. The beginner will learn fundamental principles such as how to mix colors and render form modeling. The more advanced student will discover how to take their work to the next level and achieve the finish that they desire. In addition to the live Zoom class each student will receive links to the downloadable videos of the demo painting and mixing on the palette so that you can return to the course material whenever you like!
