Rembrandt Portraiture with a Twist
The focus of this workshop is to create dramatic, expressionistic portraits.
Rembrandt, La Tour, Caravaggio, all incorporated the technique of using a
single, directional, light source to create depth and mystery in their imagery.
Using traditional elements of composition with a contemporary spin, enhanced
with textile paints, you will create an expressive portrait juxtaposing light
and dark as your tools of intrigue.
