Painting

This two day portrait course will offer an opportunity for intensive study under the tuition of Charlie Schaffer. There will be an emphasis on learning to understand the construction of the head and its features and using these skills to create more intense, expressive portraits. Working with oil paints students will develop a series of artworks, from short expressive painting sketches to longer more detailed pieces. The students will also be encouraged to work intuitively and expressively in tandem with an emphasis on accuracy of observation. The class has the benefit of 1:8 model to student ratio, as well as tuition from a talented professional artist, Charlie Schaffer. Students will receive one-to-one guidance throughout the course, and Charlie will be on hand to give regular feedback and constructive advice. He will also be demonstrating and painting alongside the students.

This exciting course is an intensive two days for advanced painters, offering a high level of tutor contact time.
