About the Class
"Art has become a way for me to express those emotions which cannot be explained by language."
In this portrait painting course, Brian Rolfe introduces a calm and intuitive approach to creating expressive portraits through layered techniques and background-led composition.
Students will explore how vibrant backgrounds, thoughtful mark-making, and careful attention to space can bring a portrait to life. Brian’s approach focuses not only on the face itself, but on the relationship between the subject and the surrounding space, allowing the work to feel dynamic and full of character.
Throughout the course, you will be guided through both drawing and painting processes, gradually developing a portrait that balances structure, expression and atmosphere.
This class is suitable for intermediate to advanced artists and offers a supportive environment to explore portraiture while developing your own creative process.
