Open to intermediate to advanced level learners, this is an introduction to drawing and painting an expressive portrait from life in a personal style. Through demos and samples, Marie will provide tips and some basic principles of observational drawing to equip participants with some technical knowledge on measuring drawing features, before painting it using glazing and wet-on-wet techniques. The approach first focuses on structuring a head in planes and blocks, secondly on watercolour, exploiting the unique properties of this medium, which is notoriously challenging but offers great practicality, speed and ease of use, as well as an infinity of effects such as translucency, washes and glazes. The course will present the participants with an opportunity to discover the subtle art of portraiture in an accessible and practical way, and to inspire amateurs to pursue this practice on a regular basis through life drawing and sketching their surroundings.
