Oil Painting Foundation: the Portrait

The subject of this oil painting course, the third of the oil painting foundation series, is the portrait.

The six, three-hour oil painting sessions of this course, are dedicated to painting a few portraits from photographic reference and a master copy of a work by John Singer Sargent, a great artist with a sublime technique.

The participants of the course will also be encouraged to work on an independent project: a portrait of a subject of their choice, a good way to start making personal aesthetic and technical choices, and put to work the notions discussed and practiced in class. Composition, color mixing, paint handling, materials, color theory, and the techniques employed by a few masters, are some of the topics, among others, that will be discussed and practiced.
