Overview
Participants in these Portraiture - Drawing and Painting workshops at Robert Gordon University will learn fundamental techniques - from understanding facial structure and proportions to mastering lighting, colour mixing, and fine detail work.
Suitable for both beginners and those seeking to refine their skills, the workshops include demonstrations and hands-on practice, guiding each participant in developing their own personal style.
Features
Each workshop pairs demonstrations with hands-on practice, enabling participants to apply new techniques to their own work, develop a personal style, and build essential skills for capturing the human face.
Programme Structure
What you will learn:
- Using mirrors and working from one another as models, participants will strengthen their observational skills and understanding of facial anatomy.
- Subsequent workshops cover realistic hair textures, lighting, and shadow to create volume, as well as colour theory for mixing and applying skin tones.
- Participants will first complete a monochrome portrait in graphite, focusing on composition and value, before progressing to the use of oil paints to produce a full-colour portrait using a basic palette.
- The final sessions concentrate on refining details and completing a portrait, culminating in a group critique and discussion.
