Join me for five relaxed mornings of oil painting where you’ll learn to create a self-portrait from scratch.
We’ll begin with the face’s basic structure—simple anatomy and an easy system to map features and proportions—then explore two different painting approaches. Using a limited palette, I’ll guide you through hands-on demonstrations, practical tips and tricks, and plenty of encouragement so you leave confident working in oils on portraits of yourself and others.
All equipment is provided — just wear old clothes you don’t mind getting messy. Suitable for all levels; some drawing experience is helpful but not essential.
