Dynamic Portraits with Robin Danely

About

This three-week workshop will focus on techniques in portrait painting in oils, for beginner to intermediate painters. You will cover basic colour theory, paint mixing and application, and how to use value to render our subject in a realistic way. You will spend time establishing good rendering techniques for facial proportions, and will also explore the use of brushwork to keep the subject dynamic and painterly.

Robin will give a demonstration to open the session, and for the remainder of the workshop you will work on individual compositions.

You will be working from photographs, as opposed to having a live model, so please bring a reference photo of your subject in natural lighting, with no big toothy smiles. 

Some paints and surfaces will be available, but try to bring as many of the suggested materials as you can.
