Watercolour Artist Friend

In this workshop you will join artists Alice Macdonald and Jessica Jane Charleston in reimagining what the self-portrait can be. Using the self-portrait as a starting point, you will be guided to create new characters and scenes, drawing from life, the imagination, props and drapery.&nbsp;You will start the day by exploring how other artists have re-imagined the self portrait, looking at artists like Paula Rego, Alice Neel, Edvard Munch, Chantal Joffe and many more. Alice and Jessica will lead various short exercises experimenting with materials and composition, and you will be guided to create a more considered watercolour painting in the afternoon.&nbsp;Suitable for all levels, this daylong session will be a playful and inventive experience. This workshop will take place at RWS Gallery on Whitcomb Street, just off Trafalgar Square. All bookings are non-refundable. <a fr-original-style="" href="http://www.royalwatercoloursociety.co.uk/usr/library/documents/main/workshop-reimagining-the-self-portrait-with-jessica-jane-charleston-and-alice-macdonald.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Download Workshop Outline</a> Please note that the materials list is not provided.
