Description
This 5-week intensive short course will focus on the skills needed to paint the portrait from life. Utilising a live model each week, Lucy Maddox will present structured steps to sketching, measuring, blocking in and capturing a likeness in paint. In the first class we will complete a tonal study, while in the remaining weeks we will engage in two long portrait poses, each completed over two weeks.
Students are welcome to work in either acrylics or oils. However, we will utilise safe painting practices - please refrain from bringing or using solvents (including turpentine) or toxic mediums. Non-toxic mediums are welcome.
