About this Event
Have you ever wanted to paint a portrait? Are you keen to learn but don’t know where to start? Then try an Introduction to Portrait Painting in Oils workshop, with artist Cordell Garfield.
Cordell is an experienced artist who will guide you through creating a portrait from a photograph. Following a step-by-step process, Cordell’s workshop will provide advice and guidance on painting a portrait from a reference photograph. The process will cover:
- Using oil paints
- The typical proportions of the face
- Measuring and mapping out key features from the photograph
- The use of line, tone, value and colour to create the portrait
Cordell will provide supporting handouts as part of the workshop to explain and demystify the technical terms and techniques involved. You will create a portrait that you will be able to take away with you at the end of the workshop.
Equipment
Paints, brushes, pre-coloured paper/board, low odour solvent and paint mixing boards are all provided. A reference photograph will also be provided. We recommend you also wear an old shirt or apron over your clothes (or old clothes).
