Description
From Ingres to Instagram, fine art has a long history of self-portraiture. In this five-week short course, Lucy Maddox will guide you to work from life to capture your own likeness in oils. From how to begin your painting to how to maximise your accuracy, you will learn to paint a self-portrait utilising a mirror - no photographs here!
Skills covered will include:
- Toning and preparing your ground
- Studies of value, colour and composition
- Taking measurements
- General observations for features
The course is best suited to those with some previous painting experience.
