Using a portrait model in an attractive setting with flowers and still-life objects – we will set about portraying it in a variety of methods (see above) resulting in an array of fresh approaches to figuration.

Inspiration will be provided in the form of a variety of portraits / still-life treatments and class discussion. We will look at artists’ work such as Tracey Emin, Louise Freshman Brown, Juan Gris, Picasso and Modigliani to name just a few.
