About the course
Oil Painting Portraits for Beginners is a step-by-step course designed to help you build confidence in portrait painting. I’ll guide you through everything—choosing materials, prepping your canvas, sketching techniques, mixing realistic skin tones, and painting each facial feature. You’ll then apply what you've learned in a full portrait demo that breaks the process down into manageable, easy-to-follow stages. My goal is to make oil painting feel approachable and rewarding, so you can enjoy creating art you're proud of—at your own pace.
