Drawing Portraits Made Easy Event Information page

[Beginners to improvers]  

Portraits can be one of the most beguiling subjects to paint, yet also possibly the most scary as we strive to capture a likeness and..... arrrrgh, please our sitter! Yet despite the thousands of minor differences that make us unique, there are techniques and ways of seeing that help us get proportions and structure correct before layering the detail and character. When we’ve mastered the basics we’ll consider loosening up both our style and materials in perhaps surprising ways………:-]

10.30-4.30 £65 A materials list will be provided, please read early!

Never has our need for personal creativity been so highlighted as during lockdown and the ongoing change to life that many are still experiencing. Creativity aids our wellbeing, giving us relaxing activity, pleasure in our achievements, good company, enhanced self esteem, to name but a few benefits. We continue to work safely, in a large, airy, light studio. 

Our in house art tutor, Liana, teaches the range of traditional and experimental art courses to get you into your creativity ‘groove’. With her usual warmth, patience and humour she’ll take you further than you expected to go, perhaps discovering hidden talent and an absorbing hobby and friends along the way.

Many of us are held back from trying by criticism or harsh comments in our youth. As an experienced life coach and therapist, she’ll also show you how to lessen your self criticism and negative mind chatter so that your painting has the best chance flourish. Sometimes we get in our own way.

Watch out for the new Saturday workshops from September and the life coaching work shops coming in the New Year, in the meantime one to one art or life coaching/therapy sessions from Liana are also available, please contact the box office.
