Portrait Course – Scott Waddel

 Portrait Course – Scott Waddel

I had the chance to go to the Grand Central Academy a few years ago over a summer in New York.  I took a couple workshops, one of them was a figure painting course taught by Scott Waddell.  I was impressed by his ability to render flesh and his skill as a draftsman.  He reminded me of one of my favorite 20th century artists, Claudio Bravo.  It didn’t take long to also realize that Scott is an excellent teacher who has dedicated a lot of time trying to quantify and define the craft of painting.
