Introduction to Oil Portrait Painting

2-Week Portrait Oil Painting Course: Rooted in the Figurative Tradition of the Great Masters.

Through a combination of live model sessions and theory instruction, you'll develop the skills needed to capture the likeness, proportions, gesture, and unique expression of each subject with precision and artistry.

We will begin with an introduction to the course, followed by practical sessions of drawing with pencil and white chalk. You will learn to master the basics of portraiture, from detailed observation to the application of drawing techniques to capture form and light.

We will explore the technique of grisaille and the application of color, exploring different approaches to achieve realistic and expressive effects. Through long poses, you will have the opportunity to refine your skills while working on capturing the essence of the model.
