Level: Beginners welcome – ideal for all skill levels
Step into the glamorous world of Art Deco and discover the timeless techniques behind Tamara de Lempicka’s Young Girl in Green with Gloves. In this engaging, hands-on workshop, you’ll explore one of the core principles of classical painting — big form modelling. Learn how to see beyond surface details and build bold, sculptural forms through tone, colour, and light.
Inspired by the Cubist idea that every form can be simplified into a cube, sphere, cylinder, or cone, you’ll experiment with reducing complexity to reveal clarity and strength in your painting. This session bridges classical training with modern innovation, helping you see your subject through the eyes of both the Old Masters and the early Modernists.
Whether you’re a seasoned painter or a curious beginner, this workshop offers a dynamic mix of history, technique, and creativity — leaving you with new ways to approach form, structure, and style.

Perfect for artists who want to combine classical methods with a modern, stylized flair — and leave with a striking, Lempicka-inspired painting!
If you’re considering enroling in the Year-Long Academy Portrait Painting Course 26-27, this workshop offers an excellent opportunity to experience our facilities first-hand before committing.
As an added bonus, the cost of the Lempicha Workshop will be fully deducted from the Portrait Painting Course when you decide to join. READ MORE
