Painting the portrait is one of the longest traditions in oil painting; from van Eyck, Titian and Velázquez through to Reynolds, Romney and Raeburn and up to our present day.
Painting the portrait is a time-honoured practice of the oil painter.
This 6-week course is designed to break down painting the portrait from the model into easily understandable principles.
The course will focus on;
Drawing and design of the head and face
Working with shadow and light to describe form
Colour theory and mixing to describe colour and light
Use of materials and technique in oil painting
Conveying mood and expression to capture the personality of the sitter
