In this 5-day workshop students will work from the live model, over an extended pose. They will discover a clear and straightforward way to approach painting the portrait, with an emphasis on structure, form, and light.
This workshop is suitable for you even if you are a beginner or an experienced painter.
We will go through the different steps of understanding composition, structure, and form to work towards achieving likeness in your portrait. You will leave this workshop with a more competent knowledge in starting your own portrait painting. We will achieve this through demonstrations and individual critiques, with all information covered in this course thoroughly explained, and each artist will work towards meeting their individual goals.
Everything you need to participate in the workshop will be provided by the school. However, if you prefer to bring your own material you are most welcome to do so, it might be helpful as you are accustomed to them. Specifically brushes might be advisable to bring from your own materials.
Jacky is currently working as a painting and drawing instructor at SARA and has years of experience painting from life and teaching groups of various levels and ages.
There are 10 spaces available in this workshop and students will work in our ateliers at SARA Academy.
