2 day Portrait Workshop in acrylics inspired by Dante Gabriel Rossetti   Join well known Edinburgh artist and tutor Suzanne Kemplay and model Beth Davison to create a portrait in the style of the pre Raphaelite Brotherhood. Expect an atmospheric set and romantic lighting in keeping with the Rossetti’s style, with a few modern touches thrown in.   On Day 1 Suzanne will give a short talk on how to approach your composition and how to capture the spirit of the artist’s technique. You’ll plan and sketch out a drawing in the morning before moving on to painting in the afternoon and on day two.  All materials are supplied (or feel free to bring your own) and the class is kept small to ensure everyone gets some individual attention. This course is most suited to those who have some drawing experience but we welcome beginners. Over 14s only. The workshop will run from 10 - 4pm on 1 and 2 April.

Join Helen of Evendawn Arts for this lovely seasonal Workshop. With a full drawing provided on speciality acrylic paper , there’s no need to worry about drawing your own toadstool. This frees you to simply paint this glowing autumnal scene. There will be some warm up practices first - trying different brushes and tools - and this will also be the time for mixing the paint colours for your project. You’ll have step by step guidance all the way through this painting, so you can relax and and have fun creating this beautiful seasonal picture. All levels of experience welcome including complete beginners. ( age 14 upwards) please don’t forget to bring something to carry home your finished project. A lidded tray or box would do. Acrylic paints are permanent when dried, so please wear appropriate clothing. Aprons are available or bring your own. Price includes all paints/materials.
