The Oil Portrait - Getting the WOW Factor | Lyn Diefenbach
Do you want to create portraits that breathe character and life? Portraits that convey a presence? Let Lyn show you how…
The workshop covers all aspects of portraiture, focussing on capturing a good likeness.
What will I learn?
You’ll learn how to manipulate relationships of line, tone, colour and edge to infuse your work with dimensionality and impact.
Lyn’s workshop will enable you to work on your own individual subject. Enjoy clear, informative demonstrations and individual attention at your easel.
One portrait will be done from a photograph of your choice. Learn how to use a photograph as a painter’s tool and to go beyond its limitations. The techniques that you learn in this class will keep you in good stead when painting from life.
Who is this course suitable for?
This workshop is suitable for all skill levels, however basic knowledge and skills in oils and colour is a prerequisite.
Bonus
Lyn will also give instruction on what to look for when painting hands with the opportunity to make your own “how-to” chart with illustrations. This is a separate activity to your head and shoulders portrait. Definitely creating the WOW FACTOR.
