PORTRAITURE

This course is not currently running.  Please register your interests with us.

If you want to learn or improve your portraiture, local artist Dawn Pretty will be running one off workshops and blocks of classes for those who want to learn and master this fabulous skill.

Portraits are described by John Singer Sargent, as "a painting, with something wrong with the mouth!" He was a professional! “You can't do sketches enough. Sketch everything and keep your curiosity fresh.” 

Portraiture is a challenge even to the pro', so don't be intimidated by lack of experience, the pleasure is in the partaking, not just the result. A warm welcome awaits you.
