The annual Portrait Society Seminar started with the Faceoff occasion, the place 18 artists painted portraits of 6 fashions in a 3-hour time span. I painted Alexandria utilizing casein.

All through the weekend, pairs of painters stood on stage in the primary ballroom portray three-hour portraits of fellow artists, who acted as fashions. This time the mannequin was Judith Carducci. On the left is Jeff Hein’s portrait midway by, and on the suitable is the portray by Rose Frantzen. 

Producers confirmed and bought their wares, together with brushes, paints, and panels. Right here, Daniel Keys lays in a portray of irises on a Raymor panel.

I did a presentation about executing a speedy block-in in varied media, and demoed a portrait sketch of John from the San Francisco Bay Space.

The prizewinners on the banquet hailed from many alternative nations, together with Australia, Ukraine, Taiwan, and Japan. 

The following gathering of the Portrait Society of America might be in Atlanta a 12 months from now.
