Joseph Todorovitch is a professional figurative and portrait painter. In this comprehensive 10-week class, you will develop one complete painting from start to finish with an element of conceptual narrative. This gives plenty of time to create a thought-out and finished work of art.

Throughout the class, you will focus on establishing pose and narrative. You will learn everything involved in creating a studio painting from start to finish, including how to set up a scene and plan your painting. Joseph will work with the model, and together you will solve the creative problems that arise when developing a work of art.

You will also learn lighting scenarios and value pattern motifs, along with color keys and other compositional ideas for making a complete painting. Joseph will discuss color mixing, establishing an accurate drawing, massing values, choosing areas of emphasis, and paint application. You will discuss finishing touches and ways to “strike a balance” to create a sense of resolve in your works.
