September 8 – 10, 2023 • Paint portraits in oil – Capellagården, Vickleby

Course leader Niklas Elgmo
Capellagården Vickleby

Course for those who want to get started and paint portraits in oil. 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. We will learn, from portrait photos, to see and depict shadows, halftones and light. The exercises involve not only painting but also some drawing. Portrait photos adapted for the course will be provided on site. We have access to a beautiful studio during the entire course weekend.

The course runs Friday 13-16.30, Saturday between 9.30-17 and Sunday 9.30-15.
Friday and Saturday the course day ends with a joint dinner.
