About Course

A monochrome portrait lesson on tonal values.

In this class you’ll learn through painting in different values of one colour, to see where the light and shadows fall on the face and you’ll create depth this way. I’ll be using the colour red because it’s such a passionate and powerful colour, but tinted down to a pink it radiates softness, kindness and vulnerability.

We’ll be using a reference photo to draw the portrait.
