Expressive Portrait Painting
Paintbox Art School - East Lothian
17th - 20th July 2023
9.30 am - 3.30 pm
This four-day painting course explores different approaches to making expressive portraits with an emphasis on techniques to help loosen up. As well as small quick portraits, there will be an opportunity to work on a larger painting over several days.
Working from the model we will begin by making small portrait studies on board using big brushes and consider their impact on mark-making and gestural paint handling. You will be shown how to build the structure of the head using directional brush strokes and ways to apply thicker paint.
Whether you are starting out with portraits or looking to develop your skills this intensive course will take you in exciting new directions built on a solid foundation.
