Learning to draw faces can feel daunting, but with the right approach it becomes an exciting and rewarding challenge.
In our studio in Bishop’s Stortford, we break the process down into simple, achievable steps — from blocking in shapes and understanding proportions, to shading and capturing expression.
These recent sessions focused on working with charcoal to build tone and structure, giving students the confidence to see their portraits really take shape.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, our workshops make learning portrait drawing accessible, enjoyable, and inspiring.
