Pop Up Workshop - Creative Portrait in Charcoal

All levels welcome - including complete beginners.

Members only - bring up to two guests free!

We want to thank our members with a very special bonus - an opportunity to do a fun workshop with your friends!

Explore the art of creative portraiture in this pop-up workshop, where you will be taught how to create a portrait with a paradoxical technique - you won’t need any anatomy or have to worry about proportions. These convincing portraits will be made by using simple tricks and, surprisingly, letters of the alphabet! You will learn how to draw imaginative faces, without needing to know anything about portraiture. Using charcoal, a super forgiving medium, you will produce 4 striking portraits, led by the teacher step-by-step. 

During the workshop, you will play with a multitude of eccentric ways of using charcoal, the eraser, your fingers, and a napkin, and find out how to control facial expressions, establish key focus areas, and practice a simple way to draw eyes, noses, lips, etc. This workshop is perfect for those who want to discover the potential of spontaneous creativity!

In this workshop, you’ll:

• Create an array of characters
• Learn what makes a face lively and believable
• Become familiar with charcoal and its creative possibilities
• Recognize such tools as napkins and erasers for their surprising effects in drawing

This pop-up workshop is open to all of our members and is suitable for all levels. As a member, you can bring up to two friends to this workshop for free.
