Michael Field is bringing 20 years of teaching experience to the MACC, where he will be leading a five-week portrait painting workshop Mondays, starting Feb. 10, from 10 a.m. to noon.
The classically trained artist currently makes a living painting portraits. Field previously taught head painting, color, design and anatomy at the Harris School of Advertising Art in Nashville.
Friend Valerie Gibson brought him to the MACC, he said.
Field said he will be focusing on head painting for his classes at the MACC.
“Everyone will paint a head, and I will help with proportions and color and the muscles of the head,” he said. “I will try to teach them what I know.”
The cost of the class is $125 for MACC members and $140 for nonmembers. Participants should bring their own materials.
“I’ll help them have a good time painting heads and teaching them what I know about colors and perspective,” said Field. “They’ll be able to enjoy their painting more.”
He said he may lead more classes at the MACC in the future.
