What you'll learn
How to Paint a Portrait like the old Masters
The complete use of Egg Tempera
The pigments used in egg tempera
The brushes used in egg tempera
How to do a black and white underpainting of the portrait
How to slowly paint volume and create a vivid portrait in the style of the Rennaissance Masters

Requirements
You will need to have a space with an easel to work on. For this course I use powder pigment with egg tempera solution, but all I teach can be painted with acrylics as well. Oil as a medium is not suitable for this course.
You will need a board primed with white rabbit skin gesso.
You will need a couple short, round Kolinsky brushes small in size, or some short, round synthetic ones of good quality.
A glass to be used as a palette or small plastic cups.

Description
In this video I teach how to paint in the style of the old masters, by painting two portraits of the great painter Sandro Botticelli. I explain the process step by step, from how to do the underpainting on a white gessoed surface, to painting the various layers of shadow and light and thus reveal the volume and beauty of a painted portrait, and to its completion with painting hair and clothes. Along I share information on the appropriate pigments and brushes, and the use and treatment of color. You will understand how the palette of a painter works and what are some best practices when we are in the studio. This course will teach you how to paint amazing portraits by using this technique, and thus enrich your artistic skills. By the end of this course you will be able to understand the concepts of painting in a rich visually style and apply these techniques not only on paintings referring directly to the old masters, but also to your own artistic practice. This course will help you understand what visual interest/richness means when we are painting portraits and give you the keys to achieve this level of expertise yourselves. I use and extensively describe the performance of egg tempera, but this course can be absolutely work perfectly for artists who use acrylics or gouache as their medium.
