Mastering Portraiture - Drawing Workshop with Dr Kay Kane
This workshop welcomes both newcomers and artists returning for a second (or third) time.Whether you are building foundations or refining skills you already possess, the focus remains the same: portraiture drawing that is grounded in clear seeing, rather than photographic imitation.This course follows the same format as Kay's workshop Fundamental Structure of the Human Head. At its core, the course treats the essential elements of all drawing-size, scale, shape, tonal relationships and spatial organisation-as equally vital.You will practise selecting, organising and simplifying so that accurate, eloquent observation becomes second nature. This disciplined seeing is the necessary groundwork for any expressive interpretation of the human face but can equally be applied to subjects other than portraiture.Throughout the five weeks, Dr Kane will teach these fundamentals to the group while also giving regular one-to-one feedback, so every participant-whether first-time or returning-receives personal guidance tailored to their stage of development.Returning artists often discover that revisiting the same principles with individual attention reveals new layers of understanding and opens fresh possibilities for expression. New students gain a solid, structured pathway into portraiture. In both cases the aim is the same: to experience the living connection between structural understanding and expressive interpretation of the human visage.Materials Supplied: Graphite, 2B/4B/6B Pencils, Plastic Ruler, Plastic Rubber, Heavy Cartridge Paper and Mixed Media Card.PLEASE NOTE: The workshop will be held in the upstairs studio gallery which is only accessible via a flight of stairs.Dr Kay Kane is a highly respected artist with 50+ years of art practice to her name and 45 years' experience as a teacher in visual art - drawing and painting. Her 12 years tertiary education includes a Diploma of Fine Art, a BA in Fine Art Painting, (Both from Central St Martins Art College, London) as well as a PHD, Doctor of Visual Art, Queensland College of Art, Brisbane.Royal Queensland Art Society is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.
