THE METHOD
ONE PAINTING, START TO FINISH.
This portrait was painted the way the course teaches: a classical, layered method - the drawing, the base layer, the second layer, the finishing - nothing skipped, nothing sped past. On camera you watch every stage happen at real painting speed, with every decision explained as it happens. Then you follow the same stages on your own canvas, at your own pace.
FOUR PARTS. SIX AND A HALF HOURS.
A complete, self-paced course - step-by-step teaching at real painting speed.
PART 1 · 40 MIN
THE DRAWING
Constructing the portrait in charcoal: placement, proportions, likeness - the decisions that make or break everything after.
PART 2 · 108 MIN
THE BASE LAYER
Laying in the big color masses: the ground, the shadow shapes, the first statement of the skin.
PART 3 · 117 MIN
THE SECOND LAYER
Building the form: halftones, the warm and cool shifts of skin, hair as mass instead of strands.
PART 4 · 120 MIN
THE FINISHING
Edges, glazes, the small decisions that turn a good start into a finished portrait - and knowing when to stop.
Filmed over the shoulder on a cinema camera - at real painting speed, never rushed past the decisions. Professionally narrated in clear English. One-time purchase, yours to keep.
