HI, I'M
I am an emerging artist with a love for emotion and its visual expression.
My painting journey started in childhood, being mentored by the late Charles Cassar right into my late teens.
My fascination with the human form remained a constant and manifested itself into painting portraits with a particular focus on the emotional state. In my personal work, I attempt to capture a specific facial gesture, with the aim of using the imagery to transfer a mood, a message, or even a feeling.
I spend most of my time in my home studio, painting portrait commissions and expanding my personal body of work, exploring how human expression can be received and interpreted, versus how the subject intends to communicate its emotion.
BOOK YOUR SEAT NOW!
Prepare for this webinar:
Lesson will be 1.5-2 hours long and we will be developing the painting alla prima from a completely blank surface using only paint. If you feel that proportions are still a learning curve for you and you would prefer guidance during the painting portion, you may trace the basic features beforehand using the steps below. I will also be giving tips during the session to help with proportions. A replay will be sent afterwards, so you can also choose to simply watch live and paint along later.
To prepare for the session please follow this optional proportion-guidance step (only if you feel you need it): Print the reference image on an A4 sheet of paper. Rub a piece of charcoal on the back of the printout, then tape it to your painting surface and trace the subject’s head, eyes, nose, and mouth.
You'll find the reference image and the supply list links in the buttons below!
