Portraits in Alla Prima
Each week there is a new model or lighting situation. Students will work one portrait oil sketch
per class. On a toned canvas using a wet into wet oil painting method students
will be encouraged to concentrate on colour and tonal value.
Students will work at their own pace, as these classes will be bold and fun. Information on
contemporary approaches to life painting will be discussed at each session.
Maximum enrolment is 15.
Weekend workshop: Head studies
This workshop offers students the opportunity to engage in an exploration of the structure and form of the
human head. Beginning with observational drawing, students will explore issues
of volume, tone, line and space. We will then progress towards painting and the
development of an expressive and individual approach.
Course fee includes cost of the model.
Maximum enrolment is 12.
