Portrait Painting Bellingham
Another course on offer is our Portrait Painting Masterclass, which is a 2 day course in the greater Bellingham area led by Tim Benson VPROI, Vice President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.This course will introduce students to the artist as they get to know his work and the philosophy behind it.The first day will start with a demonstration by Tim then you will proceed to create small, quick oil sketches which concentrate on form, tone and colour, rather than detail.On the second day students will create a large painting, again without adding detail.Throughout this process, students’ work will be discussed and their individual choices will be scrutinized to identify how to create tension and interest in the composition.The student’s work will be assessed on a one to one basis at the end of the course.
