WELCOME TO THE
6 MONTHS START PROGRAM!
In the 6-month program, I’ll introduce a variety of techniques, including three portrait demos on diverse skin tones (white, brown, black) with different methods: direct, indirect with underpainting, and a unique third approach.
We’ll create a large or medium-scale painting, working through the entire process from initial sketching to a detailed small study, and finally scaling it up to full sizeAbstract-Figurative Painting.
This program offers a comprehensive look into my creative process, covering both portraiture and abstract-figurative painting!
