Tonight was the May 2008 MAG monthly membership meeting and we were treated to an exceptional demonstration by local portraiture artist, Patty McMahon Rice.  In under two hours Patty demonstrated how to do an under-painting on canvas which can serve as the tonal foundation or reference for the portrait.  Patty spent time and attention covering pitfalls, hard spots, techniques and anatomy critical for doing portraits in any medium.

Patty has regular classes in her Warrenton Virginia studio with the schedule posted on her website.

This event was video taped so check the video page in a few days and it will be posted.

Thanks Patty
