About the event
Carole will help to demystify the process of portrait painting for you.
This week long course starts with a “warm up” day to improve observation and drawing skills, studying proportions, structure, the features, getting a likeness and skin tones. On subsequent days we will be working from models, starting with several short poses before going on to paint or draw a longer pose in the medium of your choice: watercolour, pastel or acrylics.
At the end of each day there will be an appraisal to evaluate the day’s work and learn from each other in a friendly environment.
