- **Event Name**: Classical Alla Prima Portraits from Live Models with Peter Keegan
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 10:30 am – Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 04:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: A 2 day portraiture oils workshop with professional artist &amp; tutor, Peter Keegan.

Working from 2 live models and inspired by the painterly approach to oil portrait painting used by great artists such as John Singer Sargent, who famously painted Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose in Broadway, Peter will guide and demonstrate the artistic principles and practices used by Sargent.

Working Alla Prima (wet-into-wet with oils) you will discuss and learn the importance of a tonal palette and how fully understanding tonal values will aid you in capturing the true form of the head.

Working from live models you will explore:

Exploring the face though form, shape and value rather than reliance on a tight underdrawing
Painterly mark-making and the bravura brush stroke
Getting the most out of a limited palette and which brushes the great artists used
Achieving both a likeness and (more importantly) the character of the model
Details – when to add them and where to leave them out
This course is ideal for those painters who are:

Looking to deepen their understanding of traditional Alla Prima oil painting
Interested in experiencing painting from live models
Wishing to explore the methods and ideas used by some of the great portraitists of the past
Looking to move away from working tightly
Wishing to achieve a greater understanding of tonal values and a limited palette
When to use painting mediums such as linseed oil and when to leave them alone
This 2 day course is suitable for painters with some experience of portrait painting in oils and is not suitable for the complete beginner.

By the end of the 2 days, artists will have completed (or near completed) a single head and shoulders portrait.

The workshop will run from 10:30am-4:30pm on Friday 17th April and Saturday 18th April at the Lifford Hall in the centre of Broadway village. Please use village car parks.
