Free Demo at OSA

JOANNE MEHL

Creating Flesh Tones in the Alla Prima Portrait

SECOND THURDAY DEMO OCTOBER 12, 2017
DOORS OPEN AT 10AM, DEMO AT 11 AM
BUFFET LUNCH 12:15 PM
 
Many artists struggle with creating convincing flesh tones in
portrait and figure paintings. Because human skin reflects light
and color, acute observation of warm and cool tones, and
subtleties in changes of hue are required, along with the ability
to group values, in order to successfully create the illusion of
living skin.

Working from the live model, Joanne Mehl will demonstrate
how to mix color to create a light and dark value pattern, and
how to observe and mix warm and cool flesh tones while
maintaining value groupings.

Joanne Mehl is a fine artist with over 30 years of experience
creating quality artwork for her clients. Specializing in
portraiture, figure painting and equine subjects, much of her
work is commissioned portraits of individuals, families, and the
animals they love; as well as various scenes offered for sale
through her gallery or on her website.
