This 3 week series will lead students from start to finish in creating a unique oil painted portrait beginning with underpainted sketches, building tonal planes and values in the face, and ending with glazing techniques to intensify colors. This class is suitable for both beginners and intermediate artists looking to expand their skills. Participants will provide a photo reference to work from in completing one oil painted portrait over 3 weeks.

Week 1 will focus on our sketching in oils and blocking in planes, Week 2 we will begin to fill in our value planes, and tighten facial features. Week 3 we will glaze colors on top of the monochromatic painting.
