More About the Class: Unlock the secrets to striking, realistic portraiture in an oil painting class designed to accelerate your skills and build your confidence. If you have ever wanted to capture the true essence of a person on canvas but didn’t know where to start, this class provides the clear, actionable roadmap you need.
Whether you want to paint family members or simply elevate your studio practice, mastering the portrait is a major milestone for any artist. This class gives you the foundational toolkit to do exactly that. We will focus intensely on the core pillars of portraiture: establishing solid proportions, achieving a true-to-life likeness, and mixing accurate skin tones that pop. By working with two completely different live models, you will train your eye to adapt to different facial structures and features in real-time. You will leave this class not just with a finished painting, but with the practical skills and confidence to approach any portrait.

This advanced studio experience is crafted for adults and young creatives ages 16 and up who already have a solid foundation in the fundamentals of oil painting. Space is highly limited to ensure personalized coaching, so reserve your easel today and prepare to elevate your craft.
* Respiratory Sensitivities (Asthma, COPD, etc): Please note that oil paint techniques require the use of low-vapor mineral spirits. We mitigate their effect using fans and air purifiers in the classroom. Those with respiratory sensitivities are asked to contact us in advance to discuss any concerns. 706-722-5495 or twilber@ghia.org
