5-day Masterclass 'Life Portrait Mastertraining'

Wencke Vinks gives a 5-day Masterclass 'LifePortrait Master Training' from 20 to 24 November 2023.

The masterclass 'Life Portrait Mastertraining' was developed by Wencke Vinks for our eager students who, after the second life model masterclass 'Life Model Advanced', got a taste for it and would like to continue.  The 'Master Training' week is all about deepening, experimenting, refinement and efficiency.

Our aim here is to help youto fill your creative backpack even further with essential knowledge, tips, experience and insights for your painting path and future portraits!

Structure of the Masterclass​

​

During the week we will be working with an extension of the Zorn color palette to a life model. Wencke will also give daily life demos with an explanation of her technique. Participants will then watch and ask questions.​ The focus during the masterclass will be on the following points during this week:

​​

•  In addition to the head and shoulders, attention is also paid to a portrait including   hands and clothing.

•  Experimenting with different alla prima methods.

•  Tips and tricks for more character, realism and liveliness in your portraits    to lay.

•  Extra attention to detail in eyes, nose, mouth and ears.

•  Painting techniques for hairstyle, clothing and jewelry.  Educational   tonal value studies in charcoal.

•  Training to deal with time pressure.

•  Brushwork.

•  Interpreting the effect of light on the model.

​

Participants receive personal constructive criticism, as well as a detailed explanation. 
The lessons are given in Dutch (possibly supplemented with English).
