WORKSHOPS PORTRAIT AND STILL LIFE
Learning to paint PORTRAITS calls on a variety of technical skills, such as understanding of anatomy, drawing/ painting form, learning to interpret the flow of light in a conceptual way. We all want to achieve a “quick” portrait but in order to paint faster we need to slow down. In painting portraits it is vital to be accurate as one millimetre error takes us to “Uncanny Valley”!
We all need training to improve our talents, the road to painting portraits is fascinating and an exciting challenge to achieve likeness, character and the satisfaction of a good drawing/painting.

Simple exercise to zone in eye seeing negative shapes
Tools to help train the eye
