|
Learn to capture the expression and beauty of people through oil painting on paper without an initial sketch
If you love the thought of expressing the beauty of the everyday and improving your oil painting technique, Argentine artist Camila O’Gorman is the perfect person to guide you. Specialized in oil painting and watercolor, she studied under maestro Guillermo Roux, has extensive experience in the field, and has exhibited her work at both national and international level in Chile, the US, Germany, and the UK.
In this course, Camila teaches you to do an oil portrait on paper with no initial sketching, just the paint, paintbrushes, and your observation skills as tools. The focus is on the expressiveness of your piece over likeness to the reference photo.
Your teacher Camila O’Gorman kicks off the course by talking about her work as an artist specializing in oil painting, her biggest influences and sources of inspiration, as well as her creative process.
Get started by organizing your space in order to work more comfortably and efficiently. Camila walks you through how to choose materials for your final project before helping you select the ideal photo to work from.
Learn how to prep your paper and oil paints, all about their properties, the choice of pigments, and the use of alkyd resin. Next, do a few exercises on tonal value using five colors.
Time to work on your portrait! First, outline your composition by defining areas of light and shadow, then build on it using secondary colors to boost expressiveness and add contrast through subtle details and different temperatures.
