Painting the Face -- again!

Lucy Stopford and I are teaming up again for another portrait painting workshop at the Magdalen Art Space. 

You'll get two full days of painting, including live demos from each of us in the mornings and time to work on your own composition in the afternoons. I'll be using a photographic reference, and Lucy will use a live model, so you'll get an opportunity to try both. 

We both come from a foundational approach of using tone/value to understand and build up the head and features in paint, and we both work with oils using the Zorn palette. But we each have different styles and different outcomes, which means you'll get lots of practical guidance and the freedom to explore your own mark-making and approach. 

The workshop will take place over the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, 23-24 November, 2024, from 11am - 4pm. The cost is £150 for both days, and will include some materials, but we encourage you to bring your own supplies if you can (we will send a full list of materials when you book). Experience helpful but not required!

We'll be working in the Magdalen Art Space at the Magdalen Road Studios, which is near the Pegasus Theatre off Iffley Road. There are four parking spaces available for guests, please let us know if you will require one. Please be in touch with any questions, and please let me know if you'd rather pay via bank transfer: robindanely (at) gmail (dot) com

Painting the Face: Weekend Portrait Painting Workshop

 

Lucy Stopford and I taught a joint weekend portrait painting workshop last year, and thought we made a great team -- so we're offering another one!

You'll get two full days of painting, including live demos from Lucy and I in the mornings, and work on your own composition in the afternoons. I'll be teaching from photographic references, and Lucy's day will feature a live model, so you'll get an opportunity to try both. 

We both come from a foundational approach of using value to understand and build up the head and features in paint, and we both work with oils using the Zorn palette. But we each have different methods and different outcomes, which means you'll get lots of practical guidance and the freedom to explore your own mark-making and approach. 

The workshop will take place over the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, 20 - 21 April, 2024, from 11am - 4pm both days. The cost is £150 for both days, and will include some materials, but we encourage you to bring your own supplies if you can (we will send a full list of materials when you book). Experience helpful but not required!

Tulpenmanie

I've always been curious about the tulip mania in The Netherlands during the 17th century: the dramatic tales of connoisseurs and collectors and cash-grabs, the spectacular boom and bust of the bulb bubble, and the fact that the beauty of the most prized variety, the Semper Augustus, was the result of a virus that eventually killed it. The possibility that some or all of these accounts are apocryphal only piques my interest all the more -- tulips bulbs were used as currency, and the stories about them grew and spread and mutated over hundreds of years.

Anyway, here's some gorgeous falling-down tulips I painted for my solo show at Rona Painting Gallery in Jericho this summer:

July Portrait Painting Workshop

Come paint a portrait with me! 

 

I will be teaching a summer portrait-painting workshop at Magdalen Road Studios:

 

Saturday 15th July

10am - 2pm

£50

 

 

This class is for beginner to intermediate painters, but I will accommodate all skill levels. We will cover the basics of colour theory and paint mixing, and will focus on value to render our subjects in a dimensional yet painterly way.

 

Booking required: please send an email to robindanely (at) gmail (dot) com, and I will send you all the necessary details.

I'm looking forward to pushing paint around!
