Portrait Drawing for Beginners

We aim to take the fear out of drawing faces! Our wonderful tutors will teach you all the best tricks and techniques to help you to really get to grips with the wonderful world of portraits

The basic principles of drawing faces and portraits will unfold as we spend the day in the inspiring setting of the V&A Museum sketching the marble busts and statues of historical figures. You will learn the techniques in portrait drawing, utilising line, tone and proportion, explained simply by your tutor who will guide you step by step as you gain more confidence.

We’ll use a variety of materials to explore portraits in a range of styles - with fun quick studies in an impressionistic way and then longer studies using guidelines and measurements to make more realistic drawings.

Meeting new people, learning something new in wonderful surroundings and having a truly fun, inspiring and sociable day consisting of great support with jargon-free, down to earth tuition, what's not to like!
