Painting DeLight
3 consecutive days Thursday November 13th - Saturday November 15th
10am — 1 pm
Level 3 Cuba St 33
Cost $500
Do you want to finally paint like a pro? How about those touches of magic where the objects come right off the canvas, glisten and sparkle in a convincing illusion of real life. Is it sorcery? Or achievable goals?
Come learn secrets of light play while learning to observe from life. Light is life, no wonder we are fascinated with its properties. We love sparkles and reflections, watching the sun shinning on the water, in the sparkle of a diamond, polished metal or the array of reflections in a cut crystal class. This workshop is dedicated to the play of light and how it brings a ‘highlight’ to our day. Would you like to learn how to paint it? Would you like to explore the visceral quality of oil paint and have a play just like a curious child - but with a discernment of a professional who knows how to evoke the illusion of the material world with oil paint?
From the sparkle in a loved one’s eye to the shine on a polished silver plate we talk paint application, edges, colour and all the tricks and subtleties in creating a convincing illusion. Each student will take home a small painting complete with fabulous reflections!

Figure Drawing Bootcamp
3 consecutive days November 17th Monday -19th Wednesday
2-7 pm
Level 3 Cuba st 33
Cost $700
Have you gone to figure drawing for years and your drawing is stuck in the same place.. some merit to it but still somehow not quite satisfactory?
Here is an opportunity to look into what makes a successful figure drawing, all discussed in detail. We talk about the pitfalls (we have all been there) and the keys to success giving you a solid formula to apply in your figure work.
We will look at master copy and dissect some successful, drawings focusing on studying the method as well as work with a live model to then apply the method to live drawing.
This is an immersive workshop where we will work with a humble pencil going deep into foundations. The better the foundation, the more is possible with the final result, therefore we will be focusing on priorities such as gesture, proportion and balance. Each student will walk away with a master copy and several life draiwings anchoring in the takeaways for your own practice.
