Learn to paint realistic portraits using oil or acrylic paint. Students will develop original portrait paintings from live art models and discover essential techniques for capturing a model’s likeness with accuracy. Nicholas Enevoldsen will present live demonstrations, individual critiques, and a series of lectures designed to equip students with techniques for mixing flesh tones, color theory principles, paint application, and how to imbue their work with a compelling sense of light, atmosphere, and form.
