Join Mary Whyte for a Zoom
Workshop focusing on the Art
of the Self Portrait. For
centuries, artists like
Rembrandt, Van Gogh,
Sargent and Wyeth,
periodically turned their focus
inward for a reflective self
portrait. During this time of
the pandemic, historic
changes, new insights and self-
quarantine, many artists
worldwide are doing the same.
Using a standalone mirror,
Mary will demonstrate and
guide you through the
techniques of planning your
unique composition, drawing,
mixing flesh color and
creating a background that
tells your story. She will also
talk about maintaining your
pose, avoiding mistakes and
will also give personal
critiques and tips for
marketing your work. Mary’s
work is in many corporate and
museum collections, and has
been featured in International
Artist, American Artist, Artist
Magazine, and American Art
Collector magazines. She has
been awarded the Portrait
Society of America's Gold
Medal.
