Supply List

Learn to paint loose portraits full of color and energy in this 4-week workshop.

Using photos of your own or those that Ingrid provides, you’ll discover the keys to accurate proportion and fuss-free features. We’ll tackle different age groups and lighting conditions with the aim of developing a logical system that you can apply to any portrait in the future.

As well, you’ll learn to compose the portrait on the canvas, using line, shape, color  and brushwork to emphasize and enhance key elements of the person being depicted.

If painting a face has been a daunting prospect for you in the past, this workshop will demystify  it and give you the tools to explore this wonderful and rewarding genre with confidence.
