Skin Tones in Oils - 2 Days | Marcel Desbiens
Painting skin tones has been very important in traditional painting. There have been many variations on techniques developed by artist trying to achieve a realistic impression as well as economy of time and labour.
What will I learn?
Learn how to paint skin tones with a Chiaroscuro effect. This technique can be used for painting portraits, nudes and general composition of the human body. Marcel will guide you with a step-by-step demonstration, followed by a “hands on” painting exercise. You will learn how to apply traditional oil painting methods of the Old Masters – Venetian and Flemish and more specifically from Rubens and Rembrandt.
Find out how to select and mix colours to create the appropriate shades for skin tones, how to choose the right light on the subject to paint and which brushes to use.
