Abstract

In article there are revealed the principles of formation of the portrait painting skills of the students of art faculties of the pedagogical higher education institutions, there is analyzed the main type of studies on painting - the study from nature, as well as the main painting stages in the art realization of a portrait. Mastering of the profession of painter begins with studying elementary technology of the craft and expedient sequence of actions in the course of practical pictorial work. The practical skills of mastering art are acquired gradually, beginning from simple tasks through solution and sophistication of multiple-goal tasks, among which there are both creative and professional-technical ones. The palette problem in the formation of painting skills is considered. It is necessary to warn pupils against excessively polichromatic palette, and to advice to be guided in the choice of paints by the specific painting objectives. The authors note that in painting there exist different approaches to perception of nature and to the ways of its expression, since realism has a huge arsenal of means and assumes a subjective aspect of creativity. Therefore, according to the set objective, there is a need every time to think about what painting and technical device is best to use for the greatest expressiveness. The experimental work with the students in the painting classes has allowed developing a certain system of successively performed tasks, following which, in our opinion, is the optimal option for the mastering of portrait skills. All forms and kinds of work interact and enrich each other, forming the creatively thinking artist and his/her professional painting skill. Authors pay attention to the fact that formation of portrait painting skills requires longtime analytical work, lengthy reflections in the course of creativity and experience of generalizations. Therefore, after sufficient experience in the head depiction is gained by serious and thoughtful work on drawing, it is possible to try one’s hand in the work on a portrait. In the picturesque solution of a portrait, the artist makes a psychological characteristic of the model, looking carefully into characteristic features of the person, into his/her manner of behavior, which distinguishes the work of the professional portrait painter.
