Take your drawing and painting skills to the next level
You'll refine your technique, deepen your understanding of human anatomy, and further develop your artistic vision.
Throughout the course, you’ll strengthen your ability to capture gesture, use accurate proportions, and render form through light and shadow. You’ll also explore how to turn your drawings into paintings, apply colour theory, and build a critical eye through guided critique sessions.
You’ll be guided through the full process of creating an oil painting, from the initial sketch to the final touches. Learn how to mix realistic skin tones and confidently translate the three-dimensional human figure onto a two-dimensional surface with clarity and expression.
