This five day workshop guides you through the process involved in painting the portrait. We will look at the structure of the head, and do several studies in colour as well as black and white.
We will practice colour mixing to give you confidence as well as some small colour studies. We will use different models, from photographic reference. From learning how to get the right proportions, to blocking-in and building up in layers, to working alla prima.
There will be lots of demonstrations with individual guidance and feedback throughout.
The workshop is designed to create a relaxed, informative and focused working environment for all skill levels. The core of the lesson will be based on drawing, values, edges, composition and creating life-like skin tone colour.
