I’ve been wanting to include a figurative lesson in my beginner library for a while.
This introductory lesson into portraiture is not only interesting but is a good challenge, I know it looks as though it may be a complicated lesson, but we are going to mainly concentrate on the proportions and getting the colour tones correct.
This lesson will help you grow in confidence and become comfortable with the basics, such as colour mixing and application of the paint.
