Course description
Based on painting in acrylics, this course introduces the basic techniques used in portraiture. Working from enlarged photographs, students first learn to accurately draw the head, neck and face with correct proportions and foreshortening. It then looks at using light, shade to suggest roundness and to help create a likeness. The course then moves on to colour mixing and acrylic painting techniques. Following logical steps and illustrated with clear demonstrations and handouts, it finishes with a personal painting project.
