with Ione Hunter-Gordon
Due to popular demand, Ione is back to deliver another two-day workshop. Immerse yourself in the art of portraiture with the rich, expressive medium of oil paint. This workshop is perfect whether you’re just starting out and want to learn the fundamentals, or you’re an experienced artist looking to hone your technique. Over two days, you’ll gain hands-on experience capturing the human face with emotion, depth, and personality.
Under guidance, you’ll explore key elements of portrait painting, from facial proportions and structure to colour mixing, brushwork, and the delicate interplay of light and shadow. Working from a live model, you’ll be supported step by step as you create your own alla prima oil portrait.
What to expect from this two-day workshop:
- Facial proportions & structure – establish a strong foundation for realistic, expressive portraits
- Colour mixing & brush techniques – infuse warmth, life, and character into your work
- Light & shadow – sculpt forms and create depth with subtle tonal variations
