Hello, I’m Tomasz

I paint portraits in oil, with the sitter in a chair and me at the easel, in a tall room with a big window. A portrait takes me four or five sittings, and I start every one by looking at the face for a long time before I touch the paint. I began with a sketchbook and a few tubes of colour, and I still draw a face before I paint it.

Every week I post about a painting session: what I did, what went wrong and what I would do again. What I sell is the part you can use: a palette guide, a proportions sheet, sketchbook study pages, printable prints of my portraits, a starter bundle and two video courses, one on painting your first portrait and one on skin tones. I do not take commissions. I teach you to paint your own.
