In this course, you will learn a structured, reproducible approach, starting by blocking in big shapes and then gradually moving to the details, from creating a monochrome “drawing” in paint, to the finished layered painting. You will gain confidence in tackling this complex subject and improve your observational skills along the way.

This five-day workshop is ideal for beginner, intermediate and advanced artists who would like to gain experience in painting the portrait from life in oils.

You will learn:

  • How to create a portrait painting from start to finish

  • The importance of gesture and anatomy in portraiture/figure.

  • The importance and principles of drawing, values, edges and colours

  • How to mix colours and paint realistic flesh tones

  • Which brushes to use when, and how

Luca Indraccolo was born in Naples and left Italy at the age of 19 to start his advertising career, ending up as a creative director for Saatchi & Saatchi in London. His work led him to live in several countries, including Germany, England and the US, where he began his training in drawing. Realising that fine art was his true calling, he moved first to Florence to pursue his academic training, then to London and, most recently, to Malta where he is based working as a painter.
