Blocking in the face

Building a strong foundation

 

 

Learn how to establish the main shapes, structure and planes of a portrait before moving on to the finer details.

In this FREE tutorial, I will guide you through the initial stage of portrait painting, demonstrating how to approach the face as a whole and build a solid foundation for your painting.

 

You’ll discover how to:

Establish the overall composition and placement of the face.

Identify and block in the major shapes of the portrait.

Understand the broad structure and planes of the face.

Build a strong foundation without getting caught up in small details too early.

Approach the portrait as a whole, rather than focusing on individual features too soon.

 

This stage is essential for creating a more coherent portrait and making the later stages of painting easier to approach.

HI, I'M RACHEL!

I am an emerging artist with a love for emotion and its visual expression.

My painting journey started in childhood, being mentored by the late Charles Cassar right into my late teens.

My fascination with the human form remained a constant and manifested itself into painting portraits with a particular focus on the emotional state. In my personal work, I attempt to capture a specific facial gesture, with the aim of using the imagery to transfer a mood, a message, or even a feeling.

I spend most of my time in my home studio, painting portrait commissions and expanding my personal body of work, exploring how human expression can be received and interpreted, versus how the subject intends to communicate its emotion.
