Exploring Portraiture (and figure) for International Woman’s Day - Through the eyes of Lempicka
Celebrate with us the International women's Day through art! Join us on a 5 hour workshop and explore the technique of portraiture in a friendly and relaxed way.
Join artist Fatima Pantoja on this explorative workshop where we will learn all her tricks and techniques about portraiture and figure while also celebrating the great female artist Tamara Lempicka.
Fatima will guide you through her approach as you learn how to draw or paint portraits. Yes, I will be working on charcoal and then moving to paint, attendees can stick to only charcoal depending on your experience/preference.
This workshop will be done entirely from a model and will teach you how to make studies and sketches. This ability is great for sketching in charcoal or paint and is essential for making larger pieces and commissions where more complex composition might play a part.
The groups are small and the teaching is tailored to your own experience. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to push your work onto the next level you can work at your own pace in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
There will be a break half way through the workshop, please bring something to eat & drink on the day.
Tutor: Fatima Pantoja
Fatima is originally from Spain. A few years after she finished her Fine Arts degree she moved to the UK. Currently, she works as a Freelance Artist (from digital illustrations to oil paintings, sculptures and everything in between) and an Art teacher, which she says is the perfect job for her as she loves talking and painting!
She likes to push her own boundaries and her work covers a wide range of techniques and subjects, but her favourite subject is portraiture.
Fatima participates in exhibitions regularly and co-curates a gallery THAT Gallery in Basingstoke. She was also lucky enough to be selected to participate in the Heats for Sky Landscape Artist of the year in 2017 and became a semi-finalist in the Sky portrait artist of the year in 2019.
