Look at both the structural as well as the expressive side of the eyes, nose, and mouth and learn to paint them using oil or acrylic. Begin with study exercises in charcoal on sketch paper and then explore each feature individually as you paint directly onto the canvas. Gradually students will create the whole face.
This class is good for both beginners and experienced artists.
