This course consists of a single, 3-hour ZOOM session where we will work together to create a portrait, focusing on the unique aspects of glazing dark skin tones. Included are extra resources and recordings after the live class. This is a wonderful opportunity to dive into a traditional method, while also incorporating modern techniques to enhance your skills.

Welcome to this short intro course on Atmospheric Portraiture with Glazing! This course takes over two sessions to allow the painting stage to dry before moving on to adding color. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn how to create atmospheric portraits using the glazing technique, with a modern twist inspired by traditional methods.

In this live class, we’ll focus on painting hands, drawing inspiration from Sargent’s work. Why Sargent, of all artists? Because I’m captivated by the way he simplifies the complexity of hands. He conveys them with just a few brushstrokes, using the right tones and colors in precisely the right places. We’ll begin the course by analyzing some of his hand studies and breaking down his technique. Then, we’ll move on to painting hands in oil (or acrylic), applying that understanding to our own work.
