To kick off the RQAS workshop program for 2026, we introduce `The Fundamental Structure of the Human Head – The Key to Expressive Likeness with Dr Kay Kane`.⁠
⁠
This incremental 5-week workshop is suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists. The basic tenet is that strategies for drawing should not be preoccupied with photographic reality, but rather with understanding core elements of (all) drawing. The main purpose of this particular workshop is to develop an understanding of the connectedness between structure and expressive interpretation of the human visage. ⁠
⁠
Cost (for all 5 classes running from 31/1-28/2):⁠
- RQAS Brisbane Members: $375⁠
- Non-Members: $450⁠
⁠
