Portrait Painting Day

What you will learn

  • Prepare the canvas with a ground colour

  • Transfer and develop an underdrawing and underpainting using one colour

  • Understand tone verses colour

  • Prepare your colour palette and set up your space

  • Mix colours and tonal ranges. Looking at defining shapes we will block in areas of tone and colour

  • Soften edges and add definition during the final stages of the painting 

 

We will work from a photographic image to gain confidence in the process of creation. The painting workshop is ideal for beginners with no previous painting experience or those who would like to enhance their skill level.
