Portraiture In Oil




Portraiture In Oil

Portraiture drawing and oil painting

You will find a number of hours of structured information, demonstrations, illustrations, tips, problem-solving, and more. There is a lot of information, and the video is worthy of repeated viewings. Juan walks you through steps of preparing your panel/canvas and transferring the drawing onto it for painting. The basic set up and palette to be used is also presented and from then, all of the main stages or a painting are demonstrated and explained to the point of completion. The course is a presentation of a process or an approach to painting a human subject. It is not a "how-to" but rather a "what and when" to paint. The main chapters are as follows:

  1. Introduction

  2. Imprimatura & Transferring the Drawing

  3. Setting the Scheme/Drawing or Composition

  4. Dead Color/Local Color & Setting the Palette

  5. Working Up or 1st Painting

  6. The Finish

  7. More Finish

- TESTIMONIALS -
"Juan was instrumental to my growth as a painter, and I would not be the artist I am today without his guidance. He's not only a great teacher but very fun and interesting with knowledge in topics beyond the visual arts that relate directly to them. He is possibly an ancient wizard, despite his age claims, he looks not a day over 40."
- David Shepherd

"I had the great pleasure of working with Juan Martinez during his tenure at the Academy of Realist Art here in Toronto. The school offered a one-week course in 'alla-prima portrait painting' with senior instructor Juan Martinez and I immediately signed up. I had been a drawer for the past 50 years, so I was relatively new to painting having only started to paint in 2003. I felt that an intensive portrait painting workshop with one of the ARA’s principle instructors would be helpful in broadening my abilities.

Day One of the workshop began with a 3-hour demo by Juan and I immediately knew I was in the right place. Not only was he a superb painter, but his explanations of the process of painting were clear and well-directed to the various student levels in the room. His understanding of light and shadow and (more importantly) his ability to pass this understanding on to his students was remarkable. Over the week I found Juan to be an excellent instructor with personal, individual help for every student and an easy-going charm in the classroom. Would I sign up for the course again? Absolutely."
