Weekend Masterclass: Portrait Painting – The Wallace Collection
Take inspiration from the mesmerising depiction of Eleonora of Toledo (1522 – 1562) in The Wallace Collection’s new display, Cosimo I de’ Medici: Art and Dynasty, and create your own 16th-century style portrait with the help of practising artist Laura Smith.
Working from their permanent collection and a professional art model, you’ll learn how to make energised, colourful portraits of your own, using a combination of mark-making materials and acrylic paints.
Recently conserved to reveal its original vibrant palette, the Eleonora portrait, alongside others from across the collection, will provide a springboard for making personal, free and vivid interpretations of the model in this two-day course.
Open to all levels of experience. All materials will be provided.
