Explore the art of faces through this engaging 6-week portrait workshop designed to build skills step by step. Students will learn fundamental techniques that artists use to create realistic and expressive portraits, including facial proportion, feature placement, shading, line quality, and capturing character and expression. Each week new concepts are introduced with guided exercises to help students strengthen observation skills and gain confidence in their drawing. Participants will progress from basic facial structure and individual features to completing their own polished self-portrait. This workshop encourages creativity while developing patience, focus, and artistic problem-solving skills in a supportive environment. Whether students are new to portrait drawing or looking to strengthen existing skills, they’ll leave with improved techniques and artwork they can be proud of.
