Portraits with Passion with Donna Gilbertson

Wednesday 2 March 10am to 1pm

Bookings close by 23 February

Students will explore working from a “face on” photograph (your own or supplied by me) of a person. We start with that face and use bold colours, layering, glazing and tools other than paint brushes to create texture, depth, mood and impact.

A good introduction to changing/altering what you see into what you want to paint. We hold on to the essence of the photograph while creating our own vision bringing the portrait to life.

The supplied picture is only a sample of what is to be done, there are many photos to choose from, women, men, children, the aged. Or bring your own.
