Reimagining Portrait Painting Workshop

In this workshop, you’ll create several portraits that blend abstraction and figuration, life-sketching, introspective and from a picture of your choice, the focus will be to interpret them emotionally and conceptually. You will explore unconventional ways to depict identity and perception through color, form, and composition.

Through experimental exercises and guided practice, you’ll gain tools to break away from traditional representation and develop a more expressive visual language. This experience will encourage you to approach your painting practice in a joyful and personal way.

What we focus on:

• Gain a deeper understanding of both technical and conceptual aspects of painting.
• Learn multiple approaches to creating portraits beyond traditional representation.
• Improve your confidence and inspiration to continue exploring creative expression.
