Description
This course is for students who would like to experience the pleasure of capturing the beauty of portraiture in porcelain. It is a detailed explanation of how different protraiture techniques are achieved. - The basic materials required and techniques will be discussed with instructions explained.
- It will be aimed at those with an artistic flare but not neccessarily an artist's training. The student can expect to learn to be creative without an art background.
- It is not age or gender specific.
Artistic expression will develop as an understanding of the medium grows.
Who should take this course?
To take this course would be to the advantage of artists who are already painters of porcelain. (china painters) However this course will open doors to a person to be creative so long as he or she has an artistic inclination. By the end of the course no matter the background you as the student come from you will produce work of merit. With patience and perseverence you will be surprised how easily you can produce a portrait image. The course is not recommended for younger readers however as the material does require concentration and a fairly well developed sense of discipline.

My name is Aileen. I am an Australian artist from Queensland and look forward
to sharing my knowledge and guiding you through this course.
It has been a privilege to appear on TV and in various magazines featuring my
art. As a child I drew and played with paint, this continued into adulthood but
playing with paints developed into exploring, experimenting and becoming
knowledgeable. Many commissions come my way ,especially after I "perform"
painting demonstrations. One such exciting commission was from the then Managing
Director of Canson Art products. I was then invited to demonstrate their
products via Art/Craft dealers.
