Student Shuddhodhan Mane has painted his self portrait as part of one of his Learn to Paint Portraits exercises, which you can see below. We very much enjoy seeing students self portraits and would encourage our students to email them if they have them. The college would love to display them here on our blog. Of course we also like seeing what our students look like too!
Shuddhodhan is currently taking the portrait painting course with the London Art College. He is being tutored online by Alan Dedman who is himself an expert at portraiture. Alan is always happy to impart his knowledge to his students about painting portraits in all mediums.
We have added two other portraits that Shuddhodhan has created for his’s exercises on his course. We think he is doing exceptionally well and are thrilled to be able to show his work here on our blog. The snippets below is from the introduction that Shuddhodhan sent Alan when he started the course. We hope you enjoy reading it below.
Since childhood I am following this art form as a hobby. I hope to achieve a great deal by taking this course, I would like to understand the basic fundamentals portraiture. Although it’s very tempting to paint subjects realistically, as close as possible, I would like to learn how to express the subject more considering their personality. In conclusion gradually I would like to explore portraiture more on using oil paint as the medium.
