Painting textiles: Mastering fabric details Workshop

Step into the world of 18th-century artistry with this three-hour live workshop on fabric painting, inspired by Angelica Kauffman’s exquisite self-portrait from c. 1770–1775. This session focuses on capturing the intricate folds, textures, and luminous qualities of fabric that bring portraits to life.

Guided by Prins Nicolas, artist and art instructor at st-Art.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

  • Canvas Preparation: Come up with the perfect underpainting that’ll serve the mood you want your fabric to have.

  • Color Scheme Creation: Build a palette that highlights the tonal variations and richness of textiles.

  • Fabric Rendering with Alla Prima Techniques: Master the wet-on-wet approach to achieve soft transitions, dynamic textures, and the natural flow of drapery in a single session.

Whether you’re fascinated by the delicate sheen of silk or the soft drape of muslin this workshop will teach you to portray them with confidence and style.

Perfect for artists of all levels, this session will give you the skills to transform fabric into a vibrant, dimensional focal point in your work.
