April 19 – 21, 2024 • Paint portraits in oil – Isola Gård, Holmetorp

Course leader Niklas Elgmo
Isola farm, Holmetorp Öland

This is a course for those who want to paint portraits in oil. Both for those who want to try for the first time and for those who want to continue to develop your portrait painting under Niklas guidance. The focus will be on creating form and realistic skin tones rather than portrait likeness. Niklas will go through how to prepare canvas, mix colors and handle brushes and painting medium. The exercises involve not only painting but also some drawing. We will learn to see and depict shadows, halftones and light from portrait photos. Portrait photos adapted for the course will be provided on site. Demonstrations are interspersed with individual guidance and own painting. We have access to a newly renovated course room at Isola farm throughout the course weekend.

The course runs on Friday from 13:00 to 16:30, Saturday from 9:30 to 17:00 and Sunday from 9:30 to 15:00
