This Masterclass is a rare opportunity to work with Anna Platten, one of South Australia’s most revered contemporary artists.
This masterclass is held over three days and is ideal for emerging and established artists looking to explore realist, narrative painting. Students are encouraged to bring drawings and paintings they are currently working on for Anna to provide feedback and guidance. The class will cover many aspects of tonal representational practice, from compositional studies to resolving a drawing or painting. Please note that, due to the limited time frame, participants should expect to gain valuable knowledge and skills towards their artistic practice rather than aim for a fully resolved outcome.
Previous drawing and oil painting experience will be assumed. This Masterclass is designed for participants with previous experience, ideal for current degree students, BVA graduates and those with extensive oil painting experience.
Material Requirements:
- Please bring a notebook and pen/pencil.
Oil Painting Materials & supports:
- Please bring materials appropriate to the work you will be making. Easels and tables will be provided.
