Join me for a free session on Blocking in the Face, where we’ll focus on establishing the overall composition, broad facial structure, and the planes of the face.

I’ll demonstrate how to build up the major shapes and planes without getting caught up in detail. The focus is on creating a strong foundation for your portrait before moving on to the finer details.

The session is completely FREE, and the REPLAY will also be available for free to everyone who registers during the valid registration window.

HI, I'M RACHEL!

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.

This session will be approximately 1.5 to 2 hours long and will focus on building a strong foundation for your portrait through blocking in the face. Rather than completing a full portrait, we’ll concentrate on establishing the overall composition, broad facial structure, and the major planes of the face.

You’ll learn how to build up the major shapes and planes without getting caught up in detail, understand how the broad structure influences the portrait as a whole, and create a strong foundation before moving on to the finer details.

That said, this session is structured as a demonstration, not a paint-along, though you’re absolutely welcome to paint along if you wish. If you do, you can follow along with the blocking-in process and focus on establishing the larger shapes rather than refining details.

All key information will be shared, and a replay will be sent afterwards, so you can revisit the material and apply it at your own pace.
