Description
In this workshop, Fiona will teach you her approach to painting the portrait in oils. She will begin by introducing her materials and will then do a quick demonstration of how she begins her portraits. You will then work along with Fiona through each stage of the painting – from the basic block in of the big mass to the application of colour and rendering the painting.
Fiona will discuss capturing a likeness, modelling, tone and colour. All the while working from a live model!
All levels are welcome. Some basic life drawing experience is helpful.

Fiona O'Byrne
Fiona O’Byrne is an Australian artist who paints delicate still lives and portraits, using her immediate domestic environment to create vignettes of quiet simplicity and classical harmony. Employing mainly traditional methods of oil on canvas overlaid on panelboard, the artist creates rich tonal paintings that are marked by sparse, carefully arranged compositions.
