2026-03 | Portrait & Figure Painting with a Limited Palette

  • Course
  • 27 Lessons

​​This class is designed to help you create luminous portraits and figures using a systematic 4-step process. Working with a primary palette of 7 colors deepens our understanding of hue, value, and chroma. Each week, Dominique does a step-by-step demo and narrates the process. We work from a variety of portrait and figure references. You’ll complete 2-4 paintings per month and each week students receive critiques.
