Portrait workshops

26th June 2012

Areas: making of paintings portraits workshops

Last weekend I facilitated a series of portrait workshops in Downpatrick as part of the Down Community Arts art space project. The project aims to offer everybody the opportunity to try art by providing a series of free art workshops taken by professional artists located in public areas.

Below I’ve included the portraits of Katy Perry and Kiera Knightley I did for the workshop along with a speed painting video of how I painted the Kiera Knightley portrait.

The next free portrait workshop that I will be facilitating will be at The market Square in Ballynahinch on 21st July from 10am till 3pm.

Sketch reporter: ReFound building talk

4th June 2012

Areas: paintings portraits sketches

Last week I attended a talk by the architect and artist Marcus Patton on the architectural history of the early Victorian building where Refound held its last pop up shop where I exhibited four restyled stools.

The building is enchanting with its intricate coving, high ceilings and passages from light into dark. Relatively unchanged, the building provides you with a glimpse into how living and working in Belfast looked around the 1800’s.
