Draw it. Colour it. Bring it to life.
Don't Just Learn to Colour a Portrait. Learn to Draw It First.
Creating a realistic portrait isn't only about colouring. A strong portrait begins with understanding how to draw the face accurately.
In this 3-month live course, students learn the complete process step by step — portrait construction, facial features, proportions, oil pastel techniques, skin tones, blending, layering and realistic finishing.
By the end of the course, students will understand how to take a portrait from the first drawing lines to a beautifully finished oil pastel artwork.
