The next 8-week series and the ​final for this year is commencing
​Saturday 17th October 2026

The Works of Modigliani

This final workshop series for 2026 will be dealing with the works of Amedeo Modigliani.

Join Kent McCormack in an engaging exploration of modern masters' works, designed to enhance your painting skills and deepen your appreciation of their techniques. In previous workshops, participants have been exposed to the works of modern masters to better understand their methods - an exercise highly beneficial for artists of all levels. 

This series continues the exciting new direction introduced in the August-September workshop which was popular with the participants. Rather than simply replicating the originals, you will be challenged to reinvent the pieces, tailoring them to your unique style and imagination. Who knows - you might even improve on the original!

With Kent's personalised guidance, tailored to your individual pace and skill level, you will enjoy a supportive, creative, and friendly environment in which learning and discovery thrives!

Ideal for beginners and intermediate level painters, or anyone looking to hone their composition, paint mixing and layering skills.
All mediums welcome. 
Runs every Saturday commencing 17 October - finishing 5 December 2026
10.30am to 2.00pm, $400 inclusive of GST.
