Use a Nine-Tone Value Scale

• Analyze tone by value and type (shadow,

highlight, cast shadow, halftone).

• Aim for a strong, simple tonal effect.

• Be selective, simplify and not all toneshave to be rendered.

• All values in the painting have a relationship with all the other values.

Establish your goal

• Make it your goal to capture the character of your subject in the simplest, most direct way possible.

• Be as accurate and true as you can in evaluating the appearance of the person you are painting.

Make Every Stroke Count

A painting is like a mosaic, with each brushstroke representing a separate, important tile: seen together, the tiles constitute the total picture. If the hue, value, intensity and position are not correct, the paint doe not belong on your canvas in the first place.

Start with Large Bold Brush stokes with a minimum of blending.

Brush Strokes go with the form.

Be Deliberate and Decisive.

Focus on the Larger Masses.

Maintain the Drawing

Work with Speed.

Treat Your Edges Softly on the inside and Hard Edges on the outside of the face.

Overcome the Fear of Failure

Lots of paint helps you to work richly.

Avoid judging your rate of progress against others.

A bold failure is better than a timid semi-success ----take risks!!

On the Terrace by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1881

As Aristotle stated, "The aim of Art is to present not the outward appearance of things, but their inner significance; for this, not the external manner and detail, constitutes true reality.

Expression is found in the Eyes and Eyebrows

As author and artist Gordon C. Aymar states, "the eyes are the place one looks for the most complete, reliable, and pertinent information" about the subject.

And the eyebrows can register, "almost single-handedly, wonder, pity, fright, pain, cynicism, concentration, wistfulness, displeasure, and expectation, in infinite variations and combinations."

Early Portraits – 1000 B.C.

Portraiture's roots are likely found in prehistoric times, although few of these works survive today (wood & plaster). In the art of the ancient civilizations of the Fertile Crescent (Iraq, Iran, Turkey) especially in Egypt, depictions of rulers and gods abound.

Renaissance - Harmony and Insight

Partly out of interest in the natural world and partly out of interest in the classical cultures of ancient Greece and Rome, portraits—both painted and sculpted—were given an important role in Renaissance society and valued as objects, and depicted status. 1450- 1550

Baroque –18th Century

Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez - 1650

The goal of this era was to include an abundance of details, often bright polychromic color, less realism in the faces of subjects, and an overall sense of awe.

19th Century – Neoclassical Period

Jacques-Louis David - 1794

The Neo-classical (new classical) was an era when artists depicted subjects in the latest fashions, but the style derived from ancient Greek and Roman clothing styles. Artists used directed light to define texture and the simple roundness of faces and limbs.

Portraits had visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on light in its changing qualities. The subject matter had an element of human perception and every day people and experiences.

Mary Cassatt - 1878

It is an art movement about painting subjects as true to a photograph as possible.
