IN PERSON CLASS
Ages 14 and up. Painting and drawing experience suggested but not required. Class will break for an hour at 1pm, please bring a lunch.
This workshop focuses on accurately drawing each individual feature of the face—the eye, nose, ear, and lips. The morning session includes a short lecture and structural demonstration of each feature, as well as hands-on student work from sculptor’s casts. In the afternoon session students apply the principles they’ve learned to drawing features from a live model.
Ticket Instruction: You must choose a quantity to activate “get tickets”.
About the artist: Whether painting a commissioned portrait, a figurative piece, or a “portrait” of a single rose, Suzann has the unique ability to capture the essence and spirit of a subject and combine it with masterful likeness. Her inspiration and passion comes from the classical old masters, and she is particularly influenced by the Russian painters of the 19th century. Intrigued and motivated by the depth and craft of masterworks hundreds of years old, Suzann works to understand classical methods and disciplines and leverage them with contemporary practices and sensibilities to create representational realism. Suzann Beck holds a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from Moorhead State University, Moorhead MN, and studied portraiture with atelier-trained painter Judith Anthony, Plymouth, MN, and classical glazing technique portraiture with Jeffery Hurinenko, St. Paul, MN. Suzann serves as the Minnesota Ambassador for the Portrait Society of America, and teaches portrait painting and drawing classes in her Northeast Minneapolis studio and the Paramount Center for the Visual Arts, St. Cloud, MN. http://www.mnartists.org/suzannbeck
