SATURDAY| 31st May 2025, 9:00 am – 3.00pm

This workshop is designed to help educators enhance their drawing and painting skills through targeted observational exercises to allow for more accurate and naturalistic portrait construction. The session begins with guiding participants to sketch their portrait lines, angles, and proportions as they truly are. Educators will then practice precise colour matching by mixing skin and hair tones directly from reference images, strengthening their understanding of light, tone, and colour perception. By the end of the workshop, participants will have complete portraits of their chosen sitter.

This workshop is ideal for art teachers seeking to refine their technical practice and gain practical, classroom-ready strategies for teaching observational portraiture. The workshop will be conducted in acrylic paint.

Location: Corinda State High School

Lunch, snacks and tea and coffee will be provided.
