Join Micheal Solovyev at Atelier Clos Mirabel and immerse yourself in the painting of portraits and figures.
About this course:
Very intensive workshops in a comfortable studio. We will learn the rules of portrait construction, the basics of colour mixing for portraits and figures, the use of backgrounds, and the rules of composition. Full working day of in-depth immersion in watercolour will allow you to master new techniques and methods. And, of course, you can expect plenty of personal assistance from the master!
