Take this step-by-step class to develop your muscle in straight portraiture and observational skills to start. Learn how to see, then take the leap towards implementing techniques to map out a new, artful image. Experiment and augment by employing a concept or rule, mannerist style, methods of splash technique, image layering or pivoting, isolating colour or distilling shape. Alistair Magee is a Portrait Artist and an Art Instructor of 40 years whose works are collected by museums and cultural establishments in Canada and Europe.
