These pencil portrait studies show us working to capture structure, tone, and personality. In our Bishop’s Stortford drawing sessions, students learn how to block in key shapes, build tonal value, and express character — all with just pencil and paper.
Whether you’re new to drawing or returning to the basics, our portrait workshops offer a calm space to build confidence and technique at your own pace.
