Penland School of Crafts Contemporary Portrait Painting with Michael Dixon & Beverly McIver Session 3 (June 24 - July 6) in the drawing and painting studio:
Self-portraiture has a long and rich history. This class will explore self-portraiture through observation, working with oil paint and a primary palette. Once our first self-portrait is complete, we will make a psychological self-portrait. With the help of paint and collage, we will dig deep and discover our inner beauty. No painting experience is necessary; you only have to be willing to explore who you are.
Michael is an assistant professor at Albion College in Michigan; he has exhibited at Konakalti Kutur Merkezi in Turkey and the Holter Museum of Art in Montana. Review his work at:
