Painting I Spring 2012 faces and last projects

The Painting I students are required to do at least four paintings during the semester, the last of which is a 30 x 40 inch stretched canvas painting of a face.  I find that using the large format to learn the subtle contours of the face is a great way to learn all the complexities of the face--skin, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hair.  I think you will find these beginning paintings to be wonderful representations of the human face and form.
