Aimed at beginners, this structured course introduces you to key aspects of portraiture. Working from a model, you’ll be taught how to record what you see using line and tone, initially through drawing. Following this, you’ll take steps into colour, through pastels or paint, and you’ll be shown how to represent each of the features. As your skills develop, you will spend longer on each piece of work.
Mondays 9.30am – 12.30 am
16 September – 7 October (4-week Taster)
£118
All classes are taught in a friendly, welcoming style, aimed at building confidence.
Teaching methods include illustrated talks, demonstrations of materials and techniques, practical drawing/painting experience, exchanging ideas and experience with others, looking at the work of inspirational artists, individual tuition and feedback, and informal group critiques.
You’ll need to provide your own materials. I like to keep these to a minimum and there’s usually some flexibility as to which materials you’d like to use (oils, acrylics, pastels, etc.) but do get in touch beforehand so I can discuss this with you.
Please get in touch if you’d like further information about any of the courses or to make a booking.
