Unexpected views: Kaye Donachie
The National Gallery
Kaye Donachie makes figurative paintings, but she's not just painting from life. In this talk, she unpacks how the old masters' portraits shaped her work: the way they built face and body, the conventions they followed. You get a sense of the ongoing conversation every artist has with the past, which makes you look at both the historic and contemporary work differently. Good if you're curious about portraiture without needing to be a painter yourself.
It's free and runs just under an hour in the evening at the National Gallery, where the historic work she's referencing hangs on the walls. Perfect for a gallery visit where you actually learn something instead of just walking around.
