From understanding tonal values to getting to grips with the basics of anatomy, students will learn the essentials when it comes to portraiture. Working from the model each day, we will begin the course by drawing in charcoal, before introducing colour with acrylic paints.
Demonstrations will be given showing how to build your painting layer by layer, while thinking about the transparency of the paint. We will consider warm and cool colours, finding areas of shadow and highlighted shapes, and how to use directional brushstrokes to describe the contours of the face.
