Throughout the course, you will explore the fundamentals of colour mixing, composition, and brush technique.

You will learn how to create lifelike portraits, focusing on proportions, form and skin tones and gain confidence in your own creative style while creating a series of finished paintings.

By the end of the course, you’ll not only have completed several beautiful works
