Join us for a two day fully tutored workshop learning Figure Painting in Oils with award-winning artist Anastasia Pollard.
Anastasia Pollard is an acclaimed painter and experienced tutor whose work has regularly featured in the BP portrait prize and other international exhibitions – and we are very lucky to be able to welcome her back to the Draw Studio for her popular Figure Painting in Oils weekend workshop. In this two day painting course, Anastasia will guide students through an alla-prima figure painting process from an unclothed model. This is an incredible opportunity to learn Anastasia’s approach to painting – from underpaintings, colour mixing and working towards a finished piece. If you’d like more details about the course and the required materials please get in touch on info@draw-brighton.co.uk.
What to Expect
This workshop is ideal for beginners new to painting figures in oils, as well as more experienced artists who want to refresh their skills under the guidance of this world class tutor. There will be demonstrations throughout the course, with plenty of time for individual support and guidance from Anastasia.
The workshop runs from 10am-5pm on Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st April, with a 1-hour lunch break from 1-2pm – you are welcome to bring a packed lunch, or to pop to the nearby Sainsbury’s, or a café on London Road. There will also be extra tea-breaks throughout the day.
What you need to bring
Easels, padded & backed chairs, drawing boards and small tables are provided for all students and materials are included in the cost of the course. All materials will be provided, including oil paint, solvent and oil painting paper, palettes and palette knives.
Students will need to bring:
- A toned light grey support – panel, canvas or oil painting paper A3-A2 is ideal
- Brushes suitable for oil painting (We suggest several ‘Filbert’ brushes in assorted sizes, Anastastia uses both synthetic and sable brushes
- Apron & Rags/Kitchen Roll
You will need to take your painting home with you at the end of the course, so please bear that in mind and bring a box or appropriate carrier.
A full materials list will be emailed to you when you enrol. If you have any questions, please contact info@draw-brighton.co.uk
