Description

Drawing and Painting Portraits

During this course you will learn to draw and paint the human head from direct observation. You will be encouraged to express your own personal vision in oil paints via the study of anatomy, gesture and facial expression. A portrait model will be available every day. This course is suitable for students of all levels, both beginners and those with more experience.

The aim of the course is for you to leave feeling confident in the progress you have made and looking forward to exploring other aspects of drawing and painting the model in the future.

Tutor: Allan Ramsay
