Learn how to create monochrome portrait paintings

FINALLY

- here is your opportunity to learn how to paint portraits and successfully create your own portraits.

 

- So you, once and for all, will be happy with the result when you put the brush away and have finished painting the portrait.

- So the portrait actually looks like the person you painted.

- So everyone who sees the painting thinks: “Wow! Now THAT is well painted!”

 

Painting a portrait can easily be a real hassle

The eyes pop up in the forehead,
The pupils look in two different directions and make the unfortunate person portrayed look strange.

The nose looks wrong too – the shape is never right.

The shadows, if you dare to throw yourself over them at all, become flat and too light or too dark - and where the cheek should be subtly round, you find instead there’s just a big, flat, grey-purple-pink coloured blob.

And yes - the art of mixing face colours correctly…

It's a chapter in itself…

It can easily turn into several mushed layers of that grey-purple-pink colour which, most likely, belongs more in the rubbish bin than on your beloved canvas!

SIGH!

No wonder that you have given up when it comes to painting a portrait.

 

BUT

 

Do not despair!

There is hope!

 

Because regardless of:

 

You have NEVER dared to paint a portrait before

 

or

 

You have tried - and regretted, because your result was bad

 

or

 

You are already making portraits that you are happy with, but could definitely use new inspiration

 

- you will be able to paint vivid portraits, that actually looks like the person you have painted, - when you have completed the course;

"Learn how to create monochrome portrait paintings"

- where the renowned and very popular visual artist Anne Juul Christophersen, takes you by the hand and calmly, step by step, gets you 100% safe through the process.

 

You only need four things to paint a portrait

If you have:

1. brushes,
2. canvas (or a piece of paper),
3. water,
4, white paint + only one other color paint according to your own desire,

- you can be up and running in just 5 minutes.

 

It is true.

So little is needed.

 

We guess you already have the materials in the house - isn´t that right?

 

All you need in addition are:

the desire and willingness to learn how to create a naturalistic and well-liked portrait.

You will be taken by the hand and guided through the entire process by visual artist Anne Juul Christophersen.

And it all happens on video

- so you can:

put on pause

rewind - or forward

see it all over and over again

just when you feel like it

as many times as you need

until your portrait is in place.

♥ “I had never painted a portrait before before I started the course. I thought it was way too hard as i am not very good at drawing and I was afraid to work with shadows. The course has broken down some limitations I had in me.”

- Isabelle

Thank you for a very inspiring course.

I have not painted a portrait before, but this makes me want to paint more portrait paints.

- Gro

The course was incredibly rewarding for me.

I have painted a few portraits before and always struggled to get the right skin tone so it was liberating and artistically rewarding to only work with two colors. In my case, paynes gray and white.

It surprised me a lot how many effects it was possible to produce partly with the dark background and by mixing only two colors

Anne and Jesper, with their good mood and good approach to teaching, led us students safely through the different techniques: transfer of motif, building up the individual elements of the face eyes, nose, mouth, hair and shadows, so we each got painted our individual monochrome portraits.

- Marianne

I think it was such a good course. I feel so taken by the hand and helped step by step. It's great to get the craft side into the teaching. It provides an opportunity to see your own development and not least where there is a need to train skills. I have seen the videos several times, and discover something new in them every time.
- Anna Lise

 

I like the disciplined approach that Anne has shown us. It somehow provides a safe reassurance that "you get to the finish line". Especially the remarks about: "Now we do this and that, but it is not so important that it becomes completely accurate, because we return to the area", have made me relax during the process.
- Majlis

 

Thank you so much for the introduction of painting a Monochrome portrait. I can not stop again at all and have lots of ideas for the next ones.
- Marianne

 

I enjoy watching Anne sit and work. Absolutely useful, and you both have a great sense of humor and light tone.
- Anne Sofi

 

Nice, nice course - I have enjoyed every hour with the brush.
- Else Marie

 

I'm in love with painting Monochrome portraits and have embarked on number two.
- Marianne

 

Thank you so much for a great course I have loved every single moment.
- Tina

 

Thank you for the most wonderful course! It was very inspiring to see Anne's "geekiness" and generous given of experience and technique!
- Else

 

Thank you so much for a really good and educational course! Can hardly wait to get started on the next painting.
-Anni

 

It has been an exciting course. Exciting process You lead me through Anne and Jesper. As always, I love your way of interacting. You know how to catch my attention (which can be a challenging task).
- Maiane

 

I am especially happy to see the anarchist Anne jump around in the painting and do a little here and there, while there is always a sharp eye for the coherence of the painting. Super liberating.
- Knud

 

It's been so instructive, Anne. Thank you so much for this course. I really learned a lot from that.
- Bodil
