Portrait Painting & Drawing Course

May 17th 18th & 19th

This course will be  run on the same lines as the Portrait  Course in October 2024 It  combines drawing. The class will have a maximum of 8 people. There will two models. One shared between four people which means everyone is able  to study the subject from at least 5ft. The models will swap places so you won’t end up painting/drawing from one person. Tuition is on an individual basis and the course is suitable for both beginners to the more advanced. The first day will concentrate on drawing with poses between 10 minutes and one hour. Day 2 will provide the opportunity to work for 5 hours from the subject and then on Day 3  a further five hours from the other sitter.
