ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The workshop will unfold in stages with tea/coffee breaks and a lunch interval (BYO). A thumbnail image of the portrait will be completed first in order to work out the tones, shapes, composition and placement of the portrait within the paper perimeter. This will be followed by drawing the head and shoulders of the portrait onto watercolour paper. Each watercolour wash will be demonstrated by the tutor so that students layer the washes in stages as the image evolves. Penelope will also circulate giving individual attention when required and an emphasis will be on how to create soft, hard and lost edges within the portrait. A great learning opportunity for all. Wednesday, 4 September ‘24 from 10am to 3pm. Members $60. Non-members $70. Max 12 participants BYO Lunch – morning tea & coffee provided. Register below or contact Workshops Coordinator, Marie O’Flaherty at [email protected] Registration required by Friday 30 August ‘24. All are welcome at our HDG Studio: 37 Quarry Rd, Sherwood, 4075 |
