Self-portrait in oils, with Emily Roberts

Join us to paint a realistic self-portrait in oil paint on this detailed 4 day course. Starting with the foundational knowledge of the classical sight size technique, you'll spend 4 days in practical workshops creating first drawings and then a final painting in oil of yourself.

We'll teach you to look at the technicalities of anatomy, proportions, and compositional strategies as well as expression.

As well as gaining a technical understanding of self-portrait and oil painting techniques, you'll also study colour theory, learning to mix paint using a limited colour palette.

You'll take your charcoal drawings and final self-portrait in oil on canvas home with you.

This course is taught by Emily Roberts, an artist and teacher whose work is held in private collections across Europe and North America.

All materials you’ll need are included.

Cost: £550, includes all materials needed.
