Portrait Painting Course
Portrait Painting Course is a combination of painting and drawing. The class will have a maximum of 8 people. There will two models. One shared between four people which means everyone is able to study the subject from a distance of at least 5ft. The models will swap places so you won’t end up painting/drawing from one person. Tuition is on an individual basis and the course is suitable for both beginners to the more advanced. The first day will concentrate on drawing with poses between 10 minutes and one hour. Day 2 will provide the opportunity to work for 5 hours from the subject and then on Day 3 a further five hours from the other sitter.
