Painting & Drawing Classes in Victoria, BC
Portrait Painting
Monday, March 6th, 13th, 20th & 27th, 2023, 6:30-9 PM
Learn to paint realistic portraits with oil paint by focusing on observation skills. We will work on two paintings over the course of 4 weeks to practice painting in layers and allow the oil paint to dry in between. I offer this class in a semi-private setting to ensure plenty of one-on-one instruction, feedback, and demos.
Who is this course for?
This is an intermediate course and some experience with oil painting or with drawing is recommended to get the most out of it.
Week 1 & 2: Painting the profile
Working from a reference, we work on laying down the foundation for a solid portrait. As we learn to paint the profile, our main focus is blocking in the features using a variety of observation skills. On week 1, we work with a limited palette to concentrate simply on proportions and values. On week 2, we refine the portrait building depth, light, and vibrancy with a fuller colour palette.
Week 3 & 4: Painting the full face
Using the same framework as for the profile, we now turn to painting the full face, thus confidently adding features and complexity in an organic and non-stressful way.
A list of required and suggested materials will be provided upon registration.
