Luminous portraits: impastos & glazes
Build a luminous oil portrait from the ground up. Work from a live model as Gustavo shares his approach to colour, paint handling and the structure of a likeness.
Demonstrations explore thick impastos, translucent shadows and a sensitive colour palette. Guided studio time puts these ideas into practice through close observation and individual instruction.
Discussions cover light, structure, shape design, tonal abstraction and broken colour. The workshop welcomes beginners and advanced painters who want to deepen their understanding of portraiture.
A week with room to grow
Demonstrations, guided practice, discussion and a personal portfolio review. Learn in the studio, then continue the conversation over meals and in the surrounding countryside.
