Realistic Portrait with oil paints

Master the art of painting realistic portraits and bring character and emotion to life on canvas.

Focus of the class is teaching you how to paint realistically looking faces - get the shape, color, personal characteristics as well as perspective right. Attending this course, you are gaining knowledge and skills that you can apply to any portrait you do afterwards. We will do quick sketches of the model with pen and paper. After that we will paint with the oils on canvas. We will paint a live model.

In this class, you will learn:

How to draw a portrait that looks three-dimensional and real.
How to use light, shadow, halftone, perspective, cold and warm contrast, color harmony, and color perspective to create the feeling of a real person in your painting.
How to control the old paints and how to use other materials needed for the process.
