Discover the art of portraiture on this exciting five week creative course, packed with hands-on techniques, experimentation, and expressive mark-making. You’ll explore a range of dynamic portrait processes including drawing, printmaking, and painting, while building confidence in your own artistic style.

Across the course, you’ll experiment with dramatic light and shadow through chiaroscuro techniques in both drawing and printmaking, add decorative and layered elements to your prints, and learn how to capture accurate facial proportions through careful observation and guided practice.

You’ll also dive into the vibrant world of colour mixing, developing the skills to create an expressive painted portrait using acrylics. Along the way, you’ll gain experience using oil-based printmaking inks and professional etching presses to produce striking monoprints, alongside a collection of drawings and paintings.
