Portrait masterclass by Olga Guzhbina
Tilmeld
This four-day masterclass focuses on portrait painting from life using the principles of the Russian academic tradition.
On the first day, I will give a demonstration by painting a portrait study from a live model and explaining my step-by-step process, from the initial block-in to capturing form, likeness and character. After the demonstration, participants will begin their own portraits.
During the four days, each student will work on a portrait with individual guidance. We will discuss the main stages of building a portrait, common difficulties that artists face when working from life, and practical ways to solve them. I will also explain how to organize values, approach color, and capture character even in a short study.
On the
final day, participants will finish their portraits, followed by a group review
and discussion of the works.
Please note that discounted price for students, unemployed and retired is available only for residents of Copenhagen Municipality proper, and we are required to ask for documentation of your status.
