This intermediate-level workshop in oils focuses on developing greater confidence and control with a limited palette while exploring expressive portrait techniques. You will learn how to create a sense of glowing light, enhance colour contrast, and mix a full range of realistic skin tones using just a few carefully chosen colours. Through demonstrations and individual guidance, we shall build on your existing painting skills to refine observation, and strengthen composition.Ideal for painters looking to advance their skills, refine their use of light and colour, and bring greater depth and expression to their portrait work.
Please note: The portrait featured in the poster is for illustration purposes only. During the workshop, we’ll be working from a different reference image chosen by the instructor
