Course programme

Term 1 Underpainting
The first term will be divided between two types of underpainting, the first half “imprimatura” using one pigment and the second half “Grisaille” using two pigments.

Term 2 Limited Palette
The second term will focused on gaining control over the limited colour palette. We can expand our palette once we’ve learned to use the palette effectively.

Term 3 Full Palette
In the third term of the online portrait painting course we will be exploring the full colour palette which has a much broader range of colour. It lends itself well to the Alla Prima style of painting giving it a fresh, vibrant look.
