Course Description

Course Content

During this specialized 2 part workshop you will learn how to successfully approach the complicated subject of portraiture, first by drawing, then painting in oils. We will observe the model in a long-pose from life to start by first understanding the structure and proportions of the head and what to look for to achieve life-like realism.

During this specialized workshop Kelsey shares her approach to painting the portrait from life, in which she combines classical-academic layer by layer method together with an insightful understanding of portrait anatomy – a mainstay principle for conveying accurate facial expression and capturing the emotion of the model.

From drawing to painting you will walk through the various stages of portraiture; from line and gesture, choosing the correct palette for natural flesh like tones to finishing and refining the main features of the face with glazing.

Throughout the workshop, you will also learn key aspects of portraiture, including: composition strategies and lighting, proportions of the head, and understanding and idealization of the facial features to the study of colour mixing and painting.

Big Scale easels will be provided.
