Throughout a dozen teaching units with more than 3 hours of content, Miguel Ángel Maderas, known artistically as Di Boschi, will show us his personal way of painting an oil portrait from the initial procedures to the final finish.

The whole process explained step by step for the realization of a realistic portrait from photographic reference. From the tonal organization according to the harmony of cold and warm, going through the explanation of the importance of contrasts, shadows and textures until reaching the key points of maximum light or the need for a balanced game of chromatic vibration.

Complete and, at the same time, synthesized explanations that will help us understand the importance of considering each of the elements of our painting in its context and this will be valid both in the tonal or light modulation, as in the different phases that they encompass the person portrayed: their face, eyes, hair, clothes or the play of the elements in relation to the background. In itself the whole set will always revolve around the vital importance of: color and its application in portraiture.

    Miguel Ángel, tu curso es genial. Realmente buenísimo, has hablado de fríos y cálidos… más claro que nadie. Espero que des otros cursos… ya mismo, y que esta empresa se dé cuenta de la joya que eres. Si explicarías más las mezclas(lo haces y muy bien) ya… serias superexcepcional del mundo mundial. Gracias amigo, ha sido un gran placer. Recomiendo a todo el mundo este curso… y aseguro que sé lo que digo.

About the artist

Di Boschi

Di Boschi

Di Boschi or Miguel Ángel Maderas is a painter born in Jaén in October 1992.

His first contact with painting was in 2013, when he began his studies of Illustration in the city of Jaén, with the painter and professor Francisco Carrillo. This one taught him, the rudiments of the pictorial trade, and how to love and admire painting.

Graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Granada in 2019, in his short career in the world of painting, he soon made various exhibitions and received several awards. In this sense, it is necessary to highlight the individual exhibition "Harmonies and dissonances", at the Ceferino Navarro Gallery in Granada; and the first prize in the 28th edition of the Cerezo Moreno painting contest. These activities are carried out while he carries out a career as a painting teacher at the Azul de Cadmio academy in Madrid. In his painting, people and his environment are portrayed.

A person who performs actions, as it was an automaton. A person absorbed in his thoughts; completely absent.

In his compositions, solitude and silence will become shelters from the noise and chaos of today's society. The figures appear in a contemporary, familiar setting. It does not matter whether the landscapes are interior, urban or natural, places or non-places. In Di Boschi's paintings there is an ode to the everyday, to the unnoticed.

Regarding the use of form, it should be noted that in his works we find a special interest in composition and colour. Accomplishments featuring cold colours that are fragmented, as if it were a stained glass window composed of hundreds of shades. Compositions in which sound and silence; the abstract and the concrete coexist.
