Saturday | One-Day 

In this full day workshop learn Instructor Kathy Marlene Bailey’s revolutionary process to tackle the likeness of a face using simple methods. Using a single colour, you will create unique sliding lines of an “organic grid” to nail the exact placement of features unique to each person (or your favourite furry friend!) at the very start of your portrait. This process is translatable to any medium, however in this workshop you will be working with completely non-toxic alkyd oil paint on canvas.

All materials are supplied for a fee of $15 payable to the Instructor in cash on the day of the workshop. If you wish to turn your rendering exercise into a full glaze oil painting, you are encouraged to register for our Friday afternoon five-week course, Traditional Glaze Oil Painting for beginners and experienced alike.
