Join us next weekend for a two-day workshop in portraiture with artist Gillian McCulloch.
The workshop will run from 1-4pm on Saturday and Sunday, September 8th and 9th.
On day 1 students will be focused on the bones and proportions of the skull, learning how to draw the skull and create a self portrait. Day two will move on to painting a head study and students will learn how to mix flesh tones.
While the arts centre may be able to supply some materials, students are asked to bring their own paint kits.
The fee for the entire workshop is $100. To register please contact [email protected] or call us at 902-258-2533.

Gillian McCulloch is primarily a portrait painter who works in a variety of mediums. She is drawn to painting portraits by her keen interest in people and the opportunity the genre offers to observe and to learn from each subject. Her many subjects have included Dr. Helen Creighton, Mr. Justice Roland Ritchie, Father Donald Campbell, actress Mary Colin Chisholm and film maker Lulu Keating. She intends to continue working in larger formats and to experiment with backgrounds that are relevant to the spirit and personality of the individuals she paints.
Her upcoming exhibition of contemporary oil portraits Essence, will be opening at the Inverness County Centre for the Arts on Friday, Sept. 7th from 6-8pm and will be on display until Oct. 1st.
