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
