All Materials Provided Wednesday 29th, Thursday 30th, Friday 31st July 10am - 4pm, (packed lunch 12.30pm-1pm) In this course, teens will experience the lusciousness of oil painting through the genre of portrait painting. They will be introduced to a staged approach to portraiture, how to achieve likeness and proportion. In the first morning session, teens will also be taught after a demo from Alicia how to mix up realistic flesh tone, and accurate flesh tone atuned to the live model's specific complexion.
