Portrait Painting Alla Prima with Samantha Waddell

Learn to paint portraits like the masters in this 4 week course that focuses on the techniques of chiaroscuro and alla prima (also known as  “first attempt” painting). Participants will learn how to use colour relationships, shapes and values to move from general shapes and layout to create a fully visualized portrait.

All materials are included, including 1 - 16x24” canvas. Some photo references will be available to use if desired, otherwise participants are encouraged to bring in their own chosen portrait images.
