This afternoon’s art class, portraits in pencil. We take our time in building up the various layers in a pencil portrait. Beginning with a hard HB pencil and then blending a little. Then adding some 2b, and blending again. We repeat the process multiple times, using a darker, softer pencil each time.
It’s a very satisfying process! Thanks to my young artist for her wonderful drawing skills today!

It’s a fabulous way to learn how to paint skin and we also use the proportional divider to work out where everything sits!


One of our most popular classes.
In the studio on the easel today, florals in a glass vase. 🌺 ❤️
