In week six, instructor Amy Florence will demonstrate how to create a color study for a portrait painting using the sight-size method. You will learn to paint an under life-size portrait with a limited palette; this helps simplify the mixing process of oil paints. Amy will teach you how to start with the overall colors of lights and darks before introducing any temperature shifts on the skin tone.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
