Oil Painting: Explore Creative Portraiture

“Thank you very much for having participated in the course. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and that it has helped you to develop your creativity and your love for painting. Only through experimentation and courage assuming the risk of failure will we be able to evolve! Now we are going to review the key phases of the project so that you can share it with the Domestika community. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. The reference and the sketch Choose the reference with which you are going to work. Then, design quick and small-format sketches to choose the composition with which you will go for your final painting.

Drawing Make the charcoal drawing with expression and ease. Focus on creating a good drawing layout, as this will be your main guide in developing the painting. The color Prepare a color study with the digital tool to choose the color range with which you are going to work and prepare your palette. This way you will be able to go away with a much clearer idea of how you will approach the oil color in the final painting. The painting Develop your final painting on the support you choose: canvas, primed wood, oil paper... Move freely, but pay attention to each brushstroke you give, controlling the phases of the process at all times. The time has come for you to share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. I look forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. See you in the forum!”
