Portrait Painting from the Model (Full Day Workshop), 14th December 2024
Painting a portrait directly from a live sitter is a unique and exciting experience. Previous experience of portrait painting is advised and the workshop is a natural extension of Richards Portrait Painting in Oils for Beginners workshop. During the workshop you will learn the principles of observing and responding to the sitter, building the facial structure and developing the likeness. There will be a focus on mark making, skin tones and capturing a likeness.
Experience portrait painting like the old masters did with one of the UK’s leading portrait artists.
An opportunity not to be missed!
