Workshop – Portraying Justice: Exploring Portraiture Techniques with Charles Edward Williams

Inspired by the important figures in the exhibition “Fighters for Freedom by William H. Johnson Picturing Justice,” this adult workshop looks deeply through the pursuit and pure essence of portraiture. Widely acclaimed artist Charles Edward Williams will lead workshop participants in key concepts including working from historical photographs and techniques such as the planes of the head, light & shadow, shapes, values & edges, color mixing and temperatures from utilizing oil painting on Mylar. These elements combined with studio practices and proper use of materials for example brush control, can access these portals of wonder, a journey to explore, and questions to investigate.
