Listed Under Workshops Events / Arts and Crafts Events

From mastering the light and shadow to harnessing expressive strokes, you'll learn how to create captivating portraits that speak volumes.

One of the highlights of the workshop is the opportunity to work directly from a live model. Guided by our experienced instructor, you'll observe the nuances of human expression firsthand, translating them onto paper with sensitivity and skill.

Whether you're a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or an experienced artist seeking to refine your expressive techniques, this workshop offers something for everyone. Join us as we explore the power of charcoal to capture the soulful essence of the human spirit in portraiture.
