Studio Portrait Painting: Sketch to Final
Class | Registration opens 2/24/2025 9:00 AM PST
Studio portrait will focus on the creation of a finessed portrait painting over 5 weeks. Starting with a sketch for planning, students will work through prepping the various aspects of a professional portrait painting. Focus will be placed on the process of shooting and gathering reference, generating thumbnail sketches and color comps, and the execution of the final in oils. Reference will be provided but the student can choose their own reference with instructor approval.
- This class will use oil painting materials.
