September 28 Changed to October 5, 2024: Jeff Bass-portraits in oil

Realistic Flesh Tones in Portraiture

Description of Workshop:  A demonstration detailing the application of a minimal palette to achieve realistic flesh color and the importance of an ebauche or nominal grisaille as an under painting. 

The demonstration isn’t really designed to be participatory. A full, hands-on workshop would require quite a bit more time and preparation, as well as a detailed materials list.  Attendees are certainly encouraged to bring a notebook. However, if attendees want to bring their equipment and make color notes, that’s fine.

Jeffrey W. Bass has been painting since age nine and credits his late mother--an artist herself--as his most significant influence. Jeff Bass completes fine art portraits as well as historical works for private collections and museums. His work is represented in the United States House of Representatives, the Smithsonian, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National World War II Museum, the National Naval Aviation Museum, the Reagan Presidential Library and Museum and the Hoover Institute, to name a few. He has painted luminaries including President George H. W. Bush, Florida Governor Jeb Bush and former Secretary of State George Shultz.

 

Bass’s work has been featured on CNN, Fox News and France 2 Television. His work has also been frequently distributed around the world through major news services such as Reuters and the Associated Press with appearances in the London Sunday Times and the UK Daily Mail. Images of his work have also been licensed to publishers and museums worldwide. Although Bass works primarily in oil, he’s also adept at aqueous media and holds a signature membership in the
