This fun and engaging week of portrait painting and figure painting is open to all levels. Less experienced students will enjoy an introduction to portraiture and figure painting while more advanced students benefit from a refresher in figure work aiming to progress their practice. The course will cover planning a painting and executing two types of portrait: head and shoulders and a full figure composition.
Throughout the week students will focus on:
- Colour mixing and how to arrange their palette
- Gaining a better understanding of tone
- Proportion through drawing
- Composition and developing critical and visual awareness of the model and surroundings
Your experienced tutor will support you throughout the course in both group sessions and one-to-one support providing daily feedback, critique and constructive advice. The course ends in a final round up session and should you wish for any specific feedback or support, please speak with your tutor at the start of your course. By the end of this course students will have 3-4 completed paintings, including head and shoulders portrait and compositional full figure portrait within the studio.

Choose a Beginners course if you are looking for a broad introduction to the medium you are studying. Students spend time learning the very basics of the taught medium, for example, how to mix colours, use different tools, set up an easel. Our Beginner courses are suitable for students with no prior experience, they tend to follow a more structured path than our other courses, ensuring each student receives the guidance they need from the tutor.Beginner
