Contemporary Oil Portraiture

Very attractive artwork. Didactically very well implemented. Really provides a new technique that you can incorporate into your work as you see fit. Highly recommended.

I really liked this course. Torsten is a first rate tutor - he conveys warmth and passion for creating art, and he makes painting seem much less intimidating by following a simple process, allowing for happy accidents and trying to avoid perfectionism. There is enough video content to really get absorbed, so I rate this course as great value and great fun, and the approach Torsten teaches is something I will definitely experiment with.

Really enjoyed this course by Torsten, he is an excellent tutor! I love the way it builds with tonal values, mixing all colours from a very limited number of colours and then painting upside down, a new one on me :) Quite happy with the end result. My eyes have been opened!

Everything was very skillful. The music has to go!

I liked the course and the technique learned.

I’m not a beginner but this course shows a new and creative way to start a painting and encourages loosening up to develop a more interesting portrait. The detail and instruction in the course anre exceptional. For that reason, I think it’s a great course for both beginners and experienced painters

I love this course! As an absolute oil beginner I found here lots of usefull informations. Teacher explains everything, all his actions, step by step. Plus his style is amazing - the looseness, freshness, approach to mistakes and experiments. I still struggle with picking and mixing right color for the face, so I keep rewatching videos. Hope with time and practice I get it.
Thank you for recording this amazing course!

The only downside is as always poorly translated subtitles.

Great informative demonstration.

Very informative and enjoyable. It was great to watch the whole of Torsten's process.

Demonstrated an approach I have never tried. Also reinforced that you are in charge of the process and not vice versa

Very enjoyable course and lots of great information and inspiration. I liked how Torsten talked through what he was doing and thinking as he painted but unfortunately for me I didnt have english translation audio so had to read everything which made it hard to concentrate on what Torsten was doing. But a fabulous worthwhile course.

A wonderfully educational course. All steps are explained very well and are understandable. The videos are good to watch and listen to.

Very good course for beginners!

It was very helpful in free coloring techniques.

Excellent course with many valuable tips. Good structure, explained in an understandable and comprehensible manner and well filmed. The course covered my needs 100%. I will definitely return to individual sequences of the course from time to time.
Many thanks to Torsten Wolber for freely sharing his extensive knowledge and many years of experience.
