Hmm. I don’t see it that way.
To me, it’s exactly like painting anything else - a question of looking at light, shade, texture, and color and how they relate to one another.
Once you stop thinking of a face as a face, you can start painting what you see - instead of what you think you see.
And once you’ve learned how to observe accurately, you can get creative.
I’ll show you how to…
Look at faces in a new way - as adjacent or layered shapes, textures and colours.
Use materials and techniques that help you loosen up and let go of the quest for perfection.
Explore for the joy of the experience, unstifled by the need to create a masterpiece.
Keep it simple - know when you have enough information and you can stop.
You’ll learn an approach that will not only improve your portrait painting skills, but will increase your confidence to paint whatever you want, as creatively as you dare.
The more open you are to exploration and adventure, the more you’ll connect to your unique taste and style.
See you on instagram…
