Join Sky Parra – the artist behind “Portrait of Scott Austic” – in an upcoming workshop.

Transform a photographic reference into an affective oil portrait in this two-hour workshop with artist Sky Parra.

Through demonstrations and experimentation, participants will explore gestural mark-making, play with colour relationships, identify essential forms and learn to render the distinct features of their subject.

This workshop considers how much, or rather how little, visual information is needed to create a sense of presence, inviting painters to preserve abstraction, ambiguity and accident alongside anatomical accuracy.

Designed for all experience levels, the session provides an accessible framework for creating portraits that are equally observational and expressive.
