with Frances Ricketts
Share the knowledge, understanding and experience of art and design to develop a portrait.
Lessons will explore a variety of drawing, painting and design techniques in a range of styles and media.
Exercises using ink, gouache, watercolour and acrylic paint will identify the proportions, planes, highlights and shadows of a portrait subject from the initial stages to the finished work of a portrait on canvas.
Participants will receive a journal to work on simplifying the shapes and colours within their chosen portrait subject.
This workshop coincides with Archie100 at the Museum & Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Archibald Prize, Australia’s most prestigious portrait award. Frances Ricketts' practice includes painting, ceramics and lapidary,& silver jewellery. She has been a finalist in Portrait of a Senior Territorian on multiple occasions, exhibiting in Parliament House in Darwin.
