Realistic Portrait - Summer

Unlock the hidden depths of human expression through the captivating art of realistic portrait painting.

The course focuses on learning how to paint a realistically looking portrait using oil paints. Its purpose is to provide you with knowledge of human skin tones, facial structure, and the unique characteristics of a model, all expressed through oil painting. In this course, you'll gain experience drawing a live model. We will start with quick preliminary sketches done with either a pencil or a charcoal to study the facial anatomy. Then we will paint with the oil paints, based on what we’ve discovered about the specific model.

As a participant in the course, you will: 

• learn how to use oil paints when drawing a portrait.
• understand how oil paint differs from other media.
• learn how to mix oil colors to create a realistically looking human face.
