Workshop - Fundamental Structure of the Human Head: The Key to Expressive Likeness with Dr Kay Kane

RQAS is offering an incremental 5-week workshop suitable for both beginners and experienced artists, led by acclaimed artist and educator Dr. Kay Kane, who brings over 50 years of practice and 45 years of visual art teaching experience.

The workshop focuses on the fundamentals of drawing, moving beyond photographic realism to explore the essential elements of the craft. Participants will learn to observe and interpret size, scale, shape, tone, and spatial relationships - key skills for expressing any formal idea.  

Through guided practice, participants will develop the ability to draw accurately and with clarity by selecting, organizing, and simplifying forms. The workshop also explores the connection between structure and expressive interpretation, with a special focus on capturing the human visage.  

Each class is limited to 10 participants, so early bookings are recommended to secure a place. All materials will be provided by the tutor, including graphite, 2B/4B/6B pencils, a plastic ruler, eraser, heavy cartridge paper, and mixed media card. Please note that the workshop will be held in the upstairs studio gallery, which is only accessible via a flight of stairs.  

RQAS is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council. For more information, visit RQAS website.
