This workshop is a guide to making a portrait oil painting in the studio. After a brief demonstration, learners will begin their own painting. We will look at how one might begin on a ‘blank canvas’, how to build up a work paying attention to tone and colour, how to spot problems along the way and some possible finishing touches. This alla prima approach will mean that you hopefully go home with a finished oil painting at the end of the day. The skills learnt in this class could then be applied to painting from direct observation from a live model as well as further independent work in the studio. The class is suitable for any level of ability, whether you are new to oils or portraits or just looking to hone your technique and improve certain aspects of your discipline.
