Come or Go? - Still life oil painting workshop with Dr Katia Strounina

Coming up at Petrie Terrace Gallery in June, Dr Katia Strounina will be running Come or Go? - Still life oil painting workshop.

For this workshop attendees will be painting a still life with a suitcase and a bunch of sunflowers. However, there is a twist: students must convey one of three scenarios via the means of composition and colour scheme. Katia will provide explanation and cues of possible solutions. This workshop will also be focused on fast alla prima painting.

Ticket price:

• RQAS Brisbane member: $100
