Acrylic Painting for Beginners: Expressive Portraits

Modigliani Inspired Fauvism Portrait Collection in Acrylic

This course is designed for anyone who wants to expand their creativity and knowledge on acrylic painting, and portraiture in the fauvism style, inspired from Modigliani from an artist with many years of experience in the fine art industry.

This course in intended for beginner to intermediate students, but even advanced students looking to practice with a relaxed pace, will learn something from this course too.

In this course we will focus on 2 key aspects, the first being drawing, in this case elongated faces and necks in the style of Modigliani, as well as painting in the Fauvism style.

We will also be looking at shadows and highlights, and how to portray that using bright and vibrant colors to create somethings interesting, but also to learn how colors interact with each other, and how color works in this style.

This course is a set of 3 paintings in the same style for a few reasons

- Getting to practice the same concept more then once will get you comfortable with the medium, style and topic.

- With each painting we learn from it and do even better on the next.

- Having a collection of artwork in the same style makes for beautiful décor and is a great gift too.

In this course we will not only learn the dynamics to acrylic art but by the end of this course you would have created your own set of acrylic fauvism portraits, consisting of 3 different and unique male and female subjects, yet still maintaining the style of design to make them cohesive as a collection.

I look forward to painting with you soon! :)
