Join multiple Archibald Portrait Prize finalist David Fenoglio for a two-day portrait painting workshop. The workshop will focus on natural and realistic representation of the live model in oils. Limited to 8 places. 9am - 3:30pm both days.
An alla prima approach will be demonstrated, including blocking in shapes, proportion, anatomy, design, value/colour relationships, colour mixing and paint handling. Foundational principles will be discussed while demonstrating a variety of technical approaches.
Day one will focus on anatomy and proportion with students creating a block-in drawing and one short alla prima painting from the live model.
Day two will focus on modelling form, colour mixing and paint application with students creating one longer alla prima painting from a live model.
