In my upcoming workshops, we'll be studying the art of the portrait and looking at how we can interpret the self through art. We'll be observing our own faces with mirrors, learning how to draw our own features and expressions, drawing our hands with gestures and looking at movement by drawing one another. I will teach you a range of drawing techniques as we go, from tone, shading to mark-making, colour and blending and guiding you step by step. Before you know it you'll be looking at a picture that resembles you!

Referencing some of the greatest portrait artists, Lucien Freud and Egon Schiele among others, we'll be seeing how they have created portraits that are honest, raw and authentic depictions of life as it is, whatever that looks like. Breaking through the world of the selfie and perfection, we will be drawing ourselves as we are.

All levels welcome
