Zoom Online Demo: Painting A Portrait. SOLD OUT
Jul
🎨 Live Online Painting Demonstration with Kevin McSherry
Friday, 1st AUGUST 2025 | 6:30 PM GMT | On Zoom | €20
Portraits can feel intimidating — but they don’t have to!
In this fun and focused 90-minute session, I’ll show you how I tackle a portrait from a photo, alla prima style. You’ll see the whole process unfold in real time, with me talking through exactly what I’m doing and why — no gatekeeping, just useful tips and honest insights.
Once you sign up, I’ll send you the reference photo. But honestly? Don’t stress about painting along live. You’ll get a full recording afterward, so it’s better to just watch, take it in, and enjoy the session. Then you can paint at your own pace with the video by your side.
We’ll end with a Q&A — bring your questions, big or small. It’s always a relaxed, welcoming space.
This session is designed especially for beginners to intermediate painters. As I work, I’ll guide you through every step—explaining techniques, brushwork, colour mixing, and composition choices in a clear and accessible way.
You’ll also receive a link to the reference photograph beforehand, so you can paint it in your own time.
We’ll finish with a relaxed Q&A session, where you can ask questions and get personalised tips.
🖌️ Perfect for beginner & intermediate artists

Hi Kevin. I just want to thank you for a great class this evening. It was very informative and relaxing. We learnt a lot. I do hope attend many more of your Zoom painting sessions. Many thanks.
I love Kevin’s online demonstrations. I live too far from the physical classes to attend often and these really solve that problem. The demonstrations are a perfect way to pick up new techniques and the Q/As at the end of the classes are very informative.

Once registered, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link and a downloadable reference image so you can paint along or try it later.
Spaces are limited, so book early to avoid missing out!
BOOK MY PLACEYou can paint along if you wish but I think the best approach would be to observe and jot down questions as you think of them. There will be a Q/A at the end, so you can ask me anything then. Remember there are NO silly questions: This event is aimed at beginners to intermediate painters.
Don’t forget, I’m a fast painter – I have to be in order to allow these demos to be accessible. If you can’t keep up with what I’m doing, you’ll always have the opportunity to review the whole demonstration in the recording for a whole week afterwards. I’ll send you the link the following day as it becomes available.
You can join these classes with most devices. You can use your Windows or Mac desktop PC or your iPad / or Android tablets. YOu could even use your smartphone, though the screen might be too small to get the best out of the video.
All you need is the Zoom link which will be sent to you automatically when you register for the class.
One more thing you could have is a set of headphones or earbuds. It’s not vital; it just prevents noisy feedback loops when you’re all unmuted during the Q/A ssession. If you don’t, not to worry; Zoom seems to handle extraneous noise very well.
