Explore portrait painting that moves past simple, physical likeness. A great refresher on the fundamentals of constructing a portrait and also an ideal challenge for the semi-beginner.
Students are guided outside of the traditional portrait drawing and painting box, to discover a colourful, expressive and efficient way of creating different kinds of portrait, based on temperature, and colour play.
The session starts by working from a provided photo, and where creating likeness is not the objective.
