Portrait Painting Art Classes Singapore

What do presidents, queens, and the very famous all have in common? They have all been immortalized in painted portraits. While you might not be interested in painting the portraits of world leaders, take a class on portrait painting so you can immortalize your friends and family members on canvas.

You will be instructed to start with a light, basic sketch that will capture the outline and shape of your subject’s portrait. Complete this step with a small, thin brush and light-colored paint, such as a pale tan or cornhusk blue. Once you are satisfied with the sketch, it will serve as a blueprint for creating the finished portrait.

When mixing colors for your portrait painting, you will learn the tricky task of creating believable skin tones. Use combinations of brown, red, white, black, yellow, and blue until you achieve the desired color. Pay close attention to mixing paint for hair and eye colors — most are not one solid color. An understanding of color mixing and theory come in useful for these steps.

While painting, pay attention to what makes your subject distinct. Everyone has different facial features. Avoid getting caught up in painting every strand of your subject’s coiffed hair. Use a broad brush to paint the main color for the hair. After the paint is dry, go back over the hair area with a medium brush, adding in highlights and sheen from the lighting. In the last stages of detailing your portrait, use a small brush to paint in wisps of errant hair to add more realism to the finished piece.

Are you already familiar with traditional portrait painting? Try adding some humor to the piece by painting an irreverent portrait with someone making a funny face — or turn tradition on its head with a very serious portrait of a pet.
