Prior to the class we were sent instructions to tone our canvases in acrylic to a middle value gray. I got a little further along with this portrait than I had done on the first day, though I think I had a bit of a handicap to overcome. He was an excellent model, able to stay still for an extraordinary amount of time (which he attributed to the fact that he was a long-time turkey hunter.) I heard quite a few people calling this gentleman the Captain, but I'm not sure if they were doing so because he actually was a captain, or just looked like one! In any event, he was a riot and really seemed to get a kick out of sitting for us. Portrait study- "The Captain", Oil, 20x16" This was a very different model from the one who sat for us on the first day: He has filmed a series of tutorial dvds on painting and drawing which are available through his website.Following up on my previous post about the Rob Liberace's portrait workshop, I thought I'd start this entry by posting my painting from day 2 of the class. He also teaches for their annual "Weekend with the Masters" workshops.
Rob pioneered one of the first online teaching courses for American Artist Magazine which included live webinars and critiques. They also published an article about him in the Summer 2009 issue of the same magazine. American Artist's Workshop Magazine featured one of Rob's Ireland workshops in their Spring 2006 issue. He teaches at The Art League of Virginia and holds workshops throughout the United States and abroad. Rob is known for his inspiring and informative teaching style. Rob lives with his wife, illustrator Lina Liberace, and their two daughters in their 1910 Virginia home which has turned out to be a never-ending renovation project. He is represented by the Arcadia Gallery in New York City, the John Pence Gallery in San Francisco, and the M Gallery in Charleston. Rob has been selected to be an honorary member of the America China Oil Painting Artists League. He works in a variety of mediums including pencil, chalk, pen and ink, watercolor, and oil. His work is inspired by the centuries of knowledge, skill, and elegance of the old masters.
Robert Liberace is equally accomplished in drawing, painting, and sculpture.
