What will I learn?

You will learn to construct accurate human figures using gesture, proportion, and anatomical landmarks. You will develop a deep understanding of light logic and apply it to render form across the entire body. Colour theory is taught specifically for skin tones, covering temperature, mixing, and harmony across all tones. Oil painting techniques include alla prima, layered indirect painting, glazing, and grisaille underpainting. You will study head and portrait construction, drapery, multi-figure composition, and expressive approaches. The course closes with portfolio development, self-critique methods, and professional practice strategies.
