Service Description

Primary Colours is a fully stocked and functional Art studio. All materials and the use of the studio's equipment is included in the cost. A healthy snack will also be provided during this workshop. Bathroom and kitchen facilities are on site and there is a plumbed water trough dedicated to art mess. First Aid is on site and Andrew is a fully qualified, registered, and practicing teacher. PORTRAIT PAINTING A successful portrait is one that captures the essence of the subject. It doesn't have to be realistic or a great likeness, but it should convey an impression of who the subject is. Young people are sometimes very good at this, and even if they don't succeed in capturing the sitter's soul you're usually guaranteed an interesting painting at the very least. In this workshop we'll look at the face and how to draw, and paint it. We'll start with some drawing games, some technical drawing as well, before launching into the actual portrait painting on a stretched canvas. If you could send your young artist along with a photo to use as a reference, that would be great. There are plenty to use at the studio but a more personal picture is desirable. I'm really looking forward to seeing the results from this session.
