OIL PAINTING WORKSHOP
Robin Eley
January 15-19, 2025
Level 4, Myer Centre, South Australia
​
$1650 (inc GST)
​
The Oil Painting Workshop is a comprehensive introduction to the foundations of oil painting. Conducted over 5 days and developed in collaboration with this years featured artist, Robin Eley, the workshop will cover everything from materials, to how to begin a painting and the key steps to a successful result.
All students will have a front row seat to proceedings as they are introduced to the fundamentals of painting via a series of multimedia presentations and demonstrations, conducted live on stage backed by a huge projection screen, multiple flat screens and a full time camera and sound crew.
Students will then have the opportunity to apply these lessons in a series of painting exercises, eventually leading to working on their own painting. These vibrant studio sessions will once again be a unique and interactive experience as students will have the opportunity to look up from their easel to watch Robin on stage working on his own painting. In addition Robin will work regularly with each individual student, assisting them with their painting.​

In this 5-day course students will be guided by Robin Eley through the process of creating a successful portrait from scratch. Designed as an extension of the Oil Painting Workshop, this advanced course will teach the technical aspects of portraiture, from posing and lighting a subject to painting specific features such as the eyes, hair and mouth through a series of demonstrations and exercises. Students will also learn how to think critically and conceptually about portraiture as a contemporary art form through a series of lectures and discussions.
Students of Art Academy courses have gone on to final in every major portrait prize in Australia including over a dozen times in the Archibald Prize. This course is designed to build upon this track record and give students the tools and knowledge to create their own voice in contemporary portraiture.
Numbers are strictly limited so book now.
