On August 2nd, we will focus on shorter 5 – 20 minute poses and watch as Lenin demonstrates how to get the information you need at the beginning of the pose to lay your groundwork.
Then on August 9th, we will take a pose from the first class to re-approach and learn Lenin’s watercolor process to create a masterful 2 hour piece.
Joining us from the East Coast, @Schott_to_the_Heart will be posing for this virtual class. You can apply Lenin’s teachings in real time as you view their screens side by side or individually.

From Sketch to Finish with Lenin Delsol
Painting a portrait from multiple sittings is crucial for artistic growth. Working this way, you will begin to notice subtle details and build rapport with your sitter—empowering you to paint a genuine likeness that reveals your subject’s inner spirit.
In this class, you can expect to paint three different portraits of a live model sitting in a two-week continued pose. Each session includes demos and a good deal of one-on-one instruction. You will receive online access to the pose images for working outside of class if you so choose.
