In this course, José Luis Ceña will teach us how to make a portrait from beginning to end using measured and systematic procedures in which both the formal aspects and the approach to the model’s psychology take on great importance.

Ceña will bring us closer to techniques that allow us to create our own plastic language by incorporating tools other than painting and a palette of vibrant colors that provide a special plasticity to the work.

Through more than 3 hours of teachings we can learn:

  • Special support and color palette.
  • The psychological approach of the person portrayed.
  • Analysis of color, shades and textures using mixed techniques.
  • Incorporation of tools other than painting.

    Me ha parecido interesante e innovador. Estoy peleándome con un retrato…estoy encallada. Me has dado algunas ideas que creo que me pueden ayudar a seguir con ello. Coincido contigo en que la clave está en hacer y deshacer. Me ha costado a veces seguirte, sobretodo cuando te frenabas en los trazos. Yo soy impulsiva y no tan racional y creo que eso me perjudica. La cuestión está en tener las cosas claras y yo no las tengo aún.
    Gracias por compartir tus ideas y lo voy a dar una vuelta a ver si puedo seguir.
    Gracias Luis.

    Ceña is one of my favourite Spanish painters. I live his mastery of graphic language and his choice of subject matter, everyday people and scenes. So I was very happy to see him in action even though he doesn’t talk much and a lot of his process is based on his own intuition as an artist. I immediately changed course on a self portrait I was doing after watching his course . Certainly enlightening I loved how Ceña paints with inner freedom in a loose but precise style making every stain count.
