Instructor Scott Nickerson breaks down the basic foundation to a great portrait painting. This class has been re-structured, and will now have the student begin the portrait process by painting a tonal start using just one brown color. In the weeks following, the student will continue painting in grisaille and finally add colors carefully premixed to a value scale. This method should simplify the process of color matching.
