Module 1

Drawing the Face

Before we start painting, it is important to know the basic principles of drawing the face and the features. We will study the proportions of the head and draw each of the features, it will help you in your painting process later on!

 Module 2

Values and Colour mixing

Did you know that the values in your painting are more important than the colours? In this chapter we will discuss values, shapes and mix some beautiful skin colours!

 Module 3

Me, myself and I

In this lesson, we are going to paint a Selfie. We will first paint a monochrome underpainting, keeping an eye on our shapes and values and then add some colour by glazing our painting with a beautiful warm transparent colour.

 Module 4

Fabulous Face

This process is different from what we did in the previous lesson. We will first create a beautiful textured background before adding the portrait. Of course I will guide you through the whole layered painting process!

 Module 5

Bonus: Painting and Procreate

I couldn't resist adding not one but two bonus projects! I love playing with Procreate to get colour and compositional ideas for my portraits and I really wanted to share with you how I paint on my textured background without getting my hands dirty!

 Module 6

Bonus: A portrait in charcoal & cold wax

The second bonus project is a fun way to add some colour to your charcoal portrait! We will first draw a portrait in charcoal, layer it with a clear layer of cold wax and then add some colour!
