Learn how to paint facial features using oil paints in this 3-hour hands-on workshop. You’ll complete a finished study using the alla prima (wet-on-wet) technique — a direct and expressive method where paint is applied while still fresh, all in one session.

Open to both beginners and intermediate painters, this workshop includes demonstrations, step-by-step instruction, and individual guidance. You’ll focus on key aspects such as proportion, light and shadow, skin tones, and expressive brushwork, gaining confidence in rendering lifelike eyes, noses, and mouths.

What’s Included:

  • All painting materials (oil paints, brushes, primed canvas, medium, rags)

  • Clear instruction and personal guidance in a small group

  • Practical focus on alla prima portrait studies

  • Your own completed painting (to be picked up after drying)

  • free coffee and tea

Price: €45 for 3 hours
