lesson three :
profile study in oils

Let me guide you on a journey into the beauty of the human profile! Oh my! One of my favorites and in this project we will be focusing on building up our layers and creating skin tones and values. The result is a beautiful and elegant painting that will inspire your process and continue to heighten your portrait painting confidence!

This way of painting is truly about pure observation. We’ll put our thinking caps aside and harness into the power of sight and touch. Touch, in relation to the way you interact with the brushes and paint. Learning to control your touch is just as important as honing your eye.
