RESERVE YOUR SPOTJoin me for an intense, 4-hour workshop at CASSart Flagship store in London to learn from mixing realistic skin tones to create a portrait in oil.
The session begins with an exploration of colour mixing, using a range of pigments to understand how warm and cool hues interact and how to adapt your palette for different complexions.
In the second half, I will guide you through the portrait painting process step by step. Working from provided references, you’ll learn how to translate your colour mixtures into paint, develop form and light, and create your own expressive study — finishing with a small portrait to take home.

Hi, I'm Rosso.
I’m a painter and the founder of Rosso Art School.
Portraiture has always been my greatest passion. It’s what made me leave my old career in advertising and devote myself entirely to painting.
My work has been exhibited internationally (MEAM Museum, Mall Galleries, Soho House Collection ) and featured by Colossal, My Modern Met, and International Artist Magazine, The Artist Magazine (UK). I’ve also appeared twice on Sky Portrait Artist of the Year; been finalist in the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize and ModPortrait, and won Jackson’s Painting Prize and the Women in Art Prize.
I now share my work and teaching with a community of over 180K artists and art lovers on Instagram — and through my school here.
