An Introduction to Portrait Drawing
Learn to draw a realistic portrait of the human face from a photograph.
This full day workshop is designed for complete beginners but also caters for those with some drawing experience who wish to develop their skills further. You will draw from a photograph and learn how to build a likeness from broad shapes through to more refined features using charcoal.

Donna will be on hand to support you throughout the day and the techniques that you learn during the workshop will equip you to create your own portrait drawings at home.
