Portrait Painting with Luca Indraccolo
Painting a portrait can be overwhelming at first. In this course you will learn a structured, reproducible approach, starting by blocking in big shapes and then gradually moving to the details.

This four-day workshop is ideal for beginner, intermediate and advanced artists who would like to gain experience in painting the portrait from life in oils. No experience is necessary.

  • The importance of gesture and anatomy in portraiture
  • The importance and principles of drawing, values, edges and colours
