- now taking bookings for my next course in April 2025 - 

portrait courses based at my studio in central Bristol

Picture

​These evening courses will focus on capturing expressions and personalities using vivid colour and light. You will be guided in a small, friendly group ensuring plenty of one-to-one tuition. I will take you through a step-by-step process of creating a likeness and exploring the application of paint. By the end of the 6 weeks, participants will feel confident in using oil paint to mix skin tones, be able to start and resolve a portrait using the alla prima/‘wet on wet’ method and through this create depth of colour and likeness of their subject.​

To get the full benefit of this course, participants will need to source high-resolution photos of a person that they'd like to paint in advance of the start of the course. I recommend taking multiple photos of the person they’d like to paint in interesting lighting. 
​
All materials (including brushes and paint) and light refreshments will be provided. Please bring any painting equipment such as table top easels and brushes that you're used to using.
