This immersive experience is tailored for those seeking to explore the art of depicting the nude body with sensitivity and creativity.
Throughout this workshop, participants will gain insights into the human body, learning to observe and interpret its unique shapes, curves, and proportions. We will also explore anatomy to enhance the authenticity of your nude paintings.
We will explore the language of brushwork to bring vitality and emotion to your depictions. From subtle skin tones to dramatic contrasts, explore techniques to convey the human form with grace and dynamism.
Two paintings will be created each day, one as a warm up exercise, and the other as a complete piece. This workshop invites you to transcend the conventional, celebrating the human form as a work of art.
Join us in this enriching journey into the world of nude body painting.

Meet the Teach
Emi Brener
Emi Brener is a Uruguayan artist now based in Australia, after studying in New York, Philadelphia and Berlin. Her work is multidisciplinary and primarily deals with the human body, especially the way the female body is depicted in art.
Working primarily in mixed media works that poetically merge the mediums of oil painting and embroidery, Emi Brener aims to convey moments of human intimacy, nuance and experience. Brener’s work may be located in a painting tradition that combines raw depictions of the body with deep interior mental exploration; a tradition that ranges from expressionists such as Egon Schiele, to modern day painters such as Lucian Freud and Jenny Saville. As a young artist, Brener enriches this tradition with a subtle queer sensibility. One can clearly see in Brener’s work how the female gaze on the female body is connected to empathy instead of objectification, allowing a whole new way to look and experience to emerge. Inspired by thoughts and emotions borrowed from “found” texts, Brener looks to expose the vulnerability of the human experience through the meshing of written language and painting, while also highlighting the way we use our bodies to interact with one another. The results are paintings that often depict fragments of the human figure, never showing the entire body and some even applying a distorted close-up viewpoint, further deepening the work’s sense of intimacy.
