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!

We'll be teaching in the Magdalen Art Space at the Magdalen Road Studios, which is near the Pegasus Theatre on Magdalen 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: robindanely (at) gmail (dot) com
