Portrait Painting 2 Day Workshop - April 15 + 16
Two-Day Oil Painting Workshop: Portraits in Alla Prima
Join me for an immersive two-day portrait painting intensive in my stunning Mapleton Art Studio. This workshop is designed for painters with experience who want to explore the gestural, fast, and free-flowing alla prima technique in oils.
On the first day, we will work from a live model, learning to capture the essence of the female face with bold brushwork and expressive mark-making. Over two days, we’ll explore form, tone, colour mixing, and composition, breaking down the portrait painting process into simple, achievable steps.
By the end of the workshop, you will:
- Develop confidence in painting portraits with a fresh, spontaneous approach
- Deepen your understanding of form, light, and structure
- Explore colour mixing for rich and dynamic skin tones
- Create a finished small portrait and gain practical skills to use in your studio
With all materials provided, just bring yourself and your enthusiasm!
Limited spots available. Secure your place today and take your portrait painting to the next level.
