Portrait Painting like the Old Masters (April 3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th)
£95.00
With Steve Lyon Bowes
This is a four-part evening course on:
Wednesdays, April 3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th,
6 – 9pm
Have you ever wondered how the old masters created their portraits? What colour do you need to mix good flesh colours? How did they manage to capture the translucency of the skin? This course is aimed at teaching you these skills, which are rarely taught in art courses nowadays.
Using oil paints (as the old masters did), some of the techniques you’ll learn will include the four stage painting process, layering colours using opaque and transparent paints, representing textures and glazing.
Please be aware that oils can be messy and stay wet for a few days – so please wear an apron or old shirt!
As we’d love for you to take your painting away with you, please bring a box to carry it home in – the final artwork will fit into an A4 file.
All abilities welcome.
All materials provided.
