SEPTEMBER 23-25, 2011
PORTRAIT WORKSHOP
Cost: $450 (includes model fee)

Cirriculum will cover fundamentals of tonal painting, solid drawing and an emphasis on developing edges in finishing a painting. Also, “conditioning” exercises that include quick studies and painting the head in an economy of strokes. I will paint along with the class and interact as we work together. Depending on the class size, we will divide into smaller groups around each model. Please submit your work by e-mail to: gallery@brazierstudio.com

JAMIE LEE MCMAHAN

Jamie decided to become a full-time portrait painter after a two-year trip around the world.
A 1965 graduate of The University of Memphis, where he studied fine art and mathematics, he pursued dual careers for years. He was a marketing rep for IBM in the U.S. and Sydney, Australia and, when time permitted, he painted.
The great museums of the world were the inspiration that opened the window for the artist. He has painted U.S. senators, governors, mayors, judges, university presidents, pets and a wide range of subjects in private collections. Among the many portraits by McMahan is Alex Haley, author of Roots.
He maintains a studio in Memphis, Tennessee. website: www.jamiemcmahan.com
