Local creatives are encouraged to explore the human figure through two Creative Crowd workshops that will be presented at Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery in April.
Held in conjunction with the National Photographic Portrait Prize 2023 exhibition currently on display, the Creative Crowd workshops offer an immersive three-hour experience with expert tuition through guided activities.
Life Painting, with Sunshine Coast artist Jordyn Burnett, promises to be a dynamic class that investigates traditional techniques with a contemporary twist.
The class will focus on expression, gesture, and the male anatomy, as participants draw and paint with a variety of media to help uncover their own unique style.
In his workshop, Around Photography, guest artist Warwick Gow will help attendees to explore a holistic approach to photography and portraiture.
Warwick uses photography to look at notions of identity and self, and the workshop aims to help participants find new ways to photograph by focusing on the process of being photographed.
Both workshops are open to creatives of all levels of experience and offer opportunities to get expert guidance, ask questions and refine skills while creating new works.
