Let's Start with Your Image or Photo
* Bring along a photo of yourself you want to create into the portrait. Here’s me in the photo.
* also make a colour print of your face that’s between 4cm-5cm (this will become clear below) and bring it along
* This will become the foundation you begin with
* You’ll be shown examples of Klimt’s paintings and his style and techniques will be described
* You’ll be guided step by step throughout the stages that follow
Make Outlines on the Canvas of the Key Shapes Block Off in Your Photo
* you’ll be mapping out how you want to block out your composition using your photo as a guide, this is where you’ll be drawing and painting all your decorative patterns
Add Colour to Each of the Shapes & Add Your Face
* choose your colour combinations that will dominate and paint each section with the chosen colour in acrylic paint
* when you’re done sit back and look at the work checking whether you thinking the colours work well together
* next you insert your face and I suggest two options:
1) you can try to paint your face as best you can - you’ll be surprised at how much better this can look than you think
2) or you can cut out the colour print out of your face (make sure you print on thick paper) and paste it to the canvas
Outline Your Decorative Scheme
* using acrylic paint pens provided you’ll begin to draw your decorative scheme across the painting
* don’t worry if it’s not too precise at this stage, you’ll be going over your lines again later with your final colour of choice
The Little Gems
* now you begin creating all the minute patterns and decorations across the composition painting each in different colours
* examples of some of Klimt’s favourite patterns will be circulated and you can use these or make up your own
Finishing Touches
* apply final touches, fix stray lines, messy colours, unfinished patterns
* this whole process is meticulous and you’ll be exhausted by the end but it’s well worth it
* to cap it off you’ll glue on a few rhinestones at choice spots
* and a final spray of varnish will seal it all up
* VOILÁ
