Upcoming Workshops
Portrait Sketching 1-Day Workshop
Date: Sunday 26th March 2023
Time: 10am-5pm
Price: £90 (£75 concessions + Patreon supporters)
Location: Draw Brighton
This day workshop focuses on drawing skills aimed at creating short, informal sketches of the portrait, with lots of shorter poses to draw from the model. These ideas transfer to creating the foundations of a longer drawing as well.
This workshop welcomes artists of all abilities who are keen to develop their portrait drawing, whether it be beginners looking for a place to start, or anyone who is keen to try new approaches.
The first half of the workshop will cover the first steps in laying out a portrait, with emphasis on the gesture of the head and face, and basic proportions and construction of the head.
After lunch, we will look at more exercise-driven, experimental approaches, such as varying our materials and more diverse approaches to drawing the portrait.
Anyone subscribed to Draw's Patreon is eligible for a £15 discount, with pledges starting at £3/month, plus VAT.
