Over the weekend we explore the principles of traditional direct painting (alla prima) using a Zorn palette of White, Yellow, Ochre, Red and Black.

​

Working from the nude live model, students will begin with a series of short poses in the morning to develop observation, brushwork and colour-mixing skills before progressing to a longer sustained pose in the afternoon.

​

Through demonstrations and individual guidance, students will learn how to organise and use the Zorn palette to create a full range of colour relationships while developing an understanding of tone, light, proportion and anatomical structure. Emphasis will be placed on careful observation and interpretation of light and colour to create form in figurative painting.

​

Suitable for all levels, you’ll receive one to one feedback and demonstrations over the course of the workshop.
