Depicting a person of your choice, these classes focus on reflecting their likeness, character and essence.
Starting with drawing exercises and building up to oil painting, Julia will reference oil portraits from modern and contemporary art to inspire you through the process.
Together, you’ll learn about facial proportions, positioning of features, hair, light and shade, and explore details to bring your portraits to life.
Through these guided sessions, you’ll produce a final oil painting to take home.
