Painting a portrait can be overwhelming at first. In this course, you will learn a structured, reproducible approach, starting by blocking in big shapes and then gradually moving to the details. You will gain confidence in tackling this complex subject and improve your observational skills along the way.
This four-day workshop is ideal for beginner, intermediate and advanced artists who would like to gain experience in painting the portrait from life in oils. While the course is primarily focused on oil painting, artists who prefer to draw are very welcome! And Luca will guide you whether you choose to paint or draw.
If you are painting, you will work on a single oil painting or drawing for the duration of the course. This will give you a chance to explore the portrait in depth and take your work to completion.
There will also be an option for those wishing to draw/paint the figure using a reference image, which you may bring along yourself or select from Raw Umber’s library of reference images.
