After soliciting a volunteer model from the audience, Confar will give a demonstration of ‘painting a (quick) portrait. ’She begins on a gessoed panel with a tonal underpainting, talking her audience through the process while she paints.

Confar welcomes questions and dialogue throughout the process. Once the underpainting is dry, she will apply oil as glaze to bring color and life to the tonal base. It’s a lively process. The lucky volunteer usually walks away with a quick portrait!

Confar received her B.F.A from the Art Institute of Southern California, Laguna Beach, and her M.F.A. from Boston University. Confar’s work is in many private and public collections and was recently acquired by the Provincetown Art Museum for its permanent collection.
