ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Create a self-portrait drawing or painting that communicates your identity and tells your unique story. Be inspired by traditional and contemporary approaches to self-portraiture while developing both technical skills and a deeper personal connection to your work. Choose from a range of mediums, including drawing, painting, mixed media and collage. Discover strategies for developing your personal style and balance technical skill with emotional depth.

ABOUT THE TUTOR

This workshop is led by artist Joseph Schneider whose 30 years of making and teachin with all ages gives him a passion for supporting everyone to believe in their artistic potential. His teaching is grounded in his own vibrant art practice using a range of techniques. He has appeared on Sky Landscape Artist of the Year and was awarded the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Carroll Award for young artists. He loves to share his excitement and knowledge about artists past and present and is skilled at making the most complex ideas accessible. His own lively artwork across portraiture, landscape and still-life is based on the discipline of working from observation as much as allowing for imagination to emerge from messy, exploratory processes.

WHAT TO BRING

It is recommended that you bring your own drawing and painting materials for this workshop so that you can work in the media you most prefer. Due to the nature of the workshop, you could bring paints, pencils, charcoals, collage material or other media as well as paper to work on - this can be supplemented with materials at the centre on the day. The Art Centre does have some supplies to borrow or use, although quality and quantity cannot be guaranteed. There is also an Art shop onsite where many of the required materials can be bought.
