Lois Cordelia will lead this "speed-painting" workshop, using acrylic paints, with a special emphasis on shimmering, pearlescent, iridescent and metallic ranges, including gold, silver, bronze, copper and iridescent paints. She encourages you to let go conventional ideas about realistic colour, and instead be expressive and spontaneous, launch into bold, sweeping brushstrokes on a large scale, and communicate more with less.
We will be working loosely based on photographic references (human and animal portraits, landscapes, architecture, etc - please feel free to bring in some of your own!), but the emphasis will be more on freedom of expression than on accurately copying an existing image. This is an ideal workshop for beginners, for those wishing to experiment specifically with metallic and iridescent ranges of acrylic paints, and for anyone wanting to loosen up their painting style.

Portrait of a Man wearing a TurbanPortrait of a Man wearing a Turban
Medium: Acrylic on board.
Dimensions: Approximately A2. 594 x 420 mm.
Date: April 2007
Comments:
Loosely based on a bust sculpture. Unlike most of my portraits, this painting is less about the strength of eyes, and more about sheer presence, nobility and dignity of bearing.

Head of a Native American ManHead of a Native American Man
Medium: Acrylic on board.
Dimensions: Approximately A4. 297 x 210 mm
Date: Aug 2006
Comments: This was one of my earliest and freest experiments with colour, allowing the tonal variations of a black and white original image to suggest their own harmonious colour vibrations. I was also fascinated by the textures of the skin, the stern expression and eagle-eyed gaze.
