Middlebury Studio School

This is a condensed bi-weekly introductory Portraiture oil painting class. Students will learn the essential and most effective elements of painting portraiture. Participants will choose a reference photo, transfer outlines to canvas, block in the values, and study the lighting in the reference. Learn to mix darkest values, mid-tones, highlights, then add subtle value and color variations to make the portrait come to life.

This class covers the most common mistakes made by beginner painters and breaks down the process of portraits into easy-to-understand phases. Students will leave with a finished portrait, an understanding of the oil painting process/ specific skills they can transfer to future projects. Materials included.
All level/ Adult/Teens Welcome!
