Realistic Portraits in Oil
The Complete Guide for Beginners
Learn how to bring faces to life with oil paint through 50+ in-depth lessons and 7+ hours of guided, hands-on practice.
Start your oil painting journey ✨
This course is made for beginners who want to learn how to paint realistic portraits step by step, even if you’ve never touched oil paints before.
As a self-taught oil painter with a background in architecture and years of creative exploration, I know how overwhelming portrait painting can feel at first. Between all the materials, color theory, and techniques, it’s easy to get lost without the right guidance.
Over time, I developed a simpler and more intuitive way to approach painting. I tested limited palettes, different surfaces, traditional and digital tools, and spent countless hours sketching and experimenting to find what truly helps you build skill and confidence.
Now, I’ve gathered everything I learned into this course so you can start painting portraits you’re proud of, without the frustration I once felt.
Hi, I'm Florence!
I am a French-Korean artist with a background in applied arts and architecture. I taught myself oil painting, developing a realistic style that's modern and expressive—not too classical. Through years of exploration, I’ve refined my own techniques. Now, I share all my tips and tricks to help you master realistic portrait painting with confidence.
Enter the World of Oil Painting
This course is the result of my own learning journey. It’s a clear, step-by-step path made to help anyone, even complete beginners, learn to paint realistic portraits in oil from home. Every lesson focuses on real progress and understanding, not perfection.
Whether you’re holding a brush for the first time or returning to painting after a break, this course was created to guide you, to encourage you, and to remind you that you can paint portraits beautifully.
