Discover the fundamentals of portrait drawing and painting, combining studio practice with historical examples.

Working from the model, the tutor will guide you through drawing exercises which introduce the fundamental structure and proportions of the head and face. You will get to grips with basic facial anatomy and the relationship between features, developing your drawn sketches into simple acrylic studies.

This two-day workshop also includes a visit to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, where you will learn from the works of portrait masters. Deepening your understanding of portraiture in context, you’ll build essential skills for creating confident and sensitive portraits.
