Enjoy a weekend workshop painting, with Leeanne Crisp acclaimed portrait painter and academic from Canberra. Leeanne has work in the National Portrait Gallery and has been in many prizes including the Archibald and Portia Geach. This workshop is for anyone interested in portraits and painting. It is constructed for people with any level of experience with activities that will develop both your understanding of the portrait and build skills in observing and translating what you see into engaging images. You will come away with practical skills but also a much deeper appreciation of the portrait as a form of communication. For those interested in entering the Doug Moran, the Archibald or the Shirley Hannan portrait prizes, this workshop will provide invaluable insights. Book soon, limited to 10 students only.
