Oil portraits are often regarded as the highest form of art, certainly one to be taken with the utmost seriousness. Capturing a likeness as well as the character of your subject requires planning, preparation and persistence and is not for the faint-hearted.

Rob’s four decades of experience have imbued him with a deep understanding not merely of the subject, but of the processes involved. This is a thoroughly researched and presented course that teaches you everything you need to know progressively.

Explanations are succeeded by exercises until the final sitting, so that you understand what you’re trying to do and how to work before getting to grips with real people. Such a solid grounding can only lead to confidence and success.

Rob makes light of learning and his thorough approach is never hard work, but rather a journey of discovery. If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at portraiture, there’s no better place to get started.
