This portrait course introduces students to the essential skills needed to create convincing portraits in both drawing and painting. During the first half of the course, students will develop a strong foundation in drawing by learning proportion, perspective, basic anatomy, and value, with an emphasis on seeing and simplifying forms. In the second half, students will transition into painting, exploring value, colour mixing, and practical painting techniques through guided exercises and a final portrait project. Through demonstrations, hands-on practice, and individual feedback, students will gain a better understanding of structure, light, and colour while building confidence in creating expressive and realistic portraits.

Out of stockGouache is one of the older painting mediums used. It is also one of the most forgiving and easiest painting mediums to use. Many great painters - from Sargent to Winslow Homer - used gouache, either on its own, or with their watercolor paintings. It is fairly easy to use - thick over thin applications of paint. You can paint from really dark backgrounds and slowly bring out the light in your work. It is really nice on smaller works that are done in your sketchbooks. There will be a number of pieces created in this workshop, and I will give you all the information you need to master this medium. I will demonstrate how to use it and give you ample time in class to practice the different and easy techniques. Above all, you will have fun using this paint. Please click here for the gouache supply list, as there are specific materials you will need. Please email any questions to robindailyartist@gmail.com.
