Aimed at beginners to portrait painting in oils and experienced artists alike, this 2 day workshop focuses on portrait painting using a live model.
For those new to oils, we will explore the versatility of oils as a medium as well as colour mixing, temperature and the varied techniques of application and finishing.
In creating the portrait we’ll consider the elements of composition, pose and countenance and search for resemblance along with the elusive essence and personality of the sitter. This enjoyable and challenging class will provide the opportunity to work through your interpretation of the subject with the aim of providing an understanding of how to combine paint, surface and sitter into a resolved work.
