Immerse yourself in the art of painting the human head and figure in oil in this five-day intensive course. Taught entirely by Peter Najad Kasim, professional portrait painter and instructor at Berlin Portrait Academy, this workshop guides students from structured sculpture studies to live model painting, building confidence, skill, and a deep understanding of form, light, and color.
