Why Study This Course?
This gentle and supportive art course is designed for carers who would like to create a painted portrait of someone special in their life. Using a photograph as reference, participants will learn simple techniques to capture likeness, expression, and personality while exploring colour, brushwork, and composition.
The course focuses on enjoyment, creativity, and personal expression rather than perfection. By the end, each participant will complete a portrait painting that celebrates someone meaningful to them.
No previous painting experience is required.
By the end of the course, participants will:
-Understand the basic structure and proportions of the human face
-Learn how to sketch a portrait from a photograph using a grid method
-Explore colour mixing for skin tones
-Develop confidence using brushes and paint
-Complete a personal portrait painting
To be eligible for this course you must be 19 or over on 31st August prior to the course start date.
Please bring with you any images that you would like to work from.
