EXPERIMENTS IN PORTRAITURE
SATURDAY JULY 2 9.30
SUSAN ST LAWRENCE

Experiments in Portraiture: Once More with Feeling
How do you know you’re drawing *this person* and not *that person*? What is it about them that clearly signals that they are they and not someone else?
Portraiture is about observing and cherishing the differences; sensing and expressing uniqueness.
This workshop of demonstrated techniques and thoughtful exercises are designed to help you sharpen your observation, try new ways of approaching your subject and build confidence in your creative instinct.
Small class, bookings essential.
BEYOND THE BRUSH
SUNDAY 2 JULY 09.30
$100
Long to loosen up and try new things? This workshop breaks all the rules and helps abstract your art!
Have fun with mixed media from watercolour to crayons and natural dye.
The workshop starts with exploration of media and a letting go of previous beliefs.
We will look at mark making, surfaces, creating depth and using new tools to create atmospheric artworks.
Materials provided. Please feel free to bring your own art supplies - let me take them in new directions.
