The Arthouse Oasis News
In this session we focused on more pencil portrait studies. Working from reference photos, students practised measuring proportions, building structure, and adding subtle shading to create realistic, balanced drawings. Each stage showed real progress, from initial outlines to fully refined portraits.
Whether you’re a total beginner or wanting to refresh your skills, we’ve got a portrait challenge waiting for you.
