Portrait Series with Liz Chaderton: Monochrome
Overview
Discover how to paint a monochrome portrait on a tinted background with Liz Chaderton.
Details
We see faces everywhere, so it is hardly surprising that we want to capture them. We expect a portrait to look like the person, ‘sort of’ isn’t usually acceptable, so many artists shy away from attempting them. The aim of this series of webinars is to be contemporary and joyful. These are not portraits to hang in museums but will help the artist capture the faces and character of family and friends or people they encounter every day.
This recording was taken from Liz Chaderton's monochrome portrait webinar on 11/10/2023
