**Summary:**
This spring evening course offers hands-on experience in oil portraiture. Whether you’re new to painting or returning, you'll gain the skills to confidently capture a likeness using oils.

**6-week Description:**
Get creative this spring with a 6-week oil portrait course in central Bristol! Learn techniques in a friendly, relaxed setting — all while creating a portrait you’ll be proud of. All levels welcome. Materials included.

Here's a bit more about what we'll cover in the course:
These evening courses will focus on capturing expressions and personalities using vivid colour and light. You will be guided in a small, friendly group ensuring plenty of one-to-one tuition. I will take you through a step-by-step process of creating a likeness and exploring the application of paint. I will also be demonstrating at the start of most evenings to show methods in person. By the end of the 6 weeks, participants will feel confident in using oil paint to mix skin tones, be able to start and resolve a portrait using the alla prima/‘wet on wet’ method and through this create depth of colour and likeness of their subject.
