Ready to dive into portrait drawing but prefer a self-guided approach to your learning? Then join our untutored portrait workshop in Manchester, where the canvas is yours to conquer! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, this open studio environment offers you the freedom to experiment, create, and refine your skills at your own pace.
In this portrait workshop:
Exploring the Human Face, drawing and painting isn't just about creating art; it's a journey into self-awareness and relaxation through the power of creativity, allowing you to engage in a process of mindfulness, self-discovery, and personal growth.
No prior drawing or painting experience is necessary – our workshops are open to all levels, from first-timers and beginners to those with more experience.
Highlights:
  • Creative Freedom: In this self-guided portrait drawing workshop, you will be given the opportunity to explore the basic principles of drawing, including proportion, anatomy, gesture and shading as you study the intricacies of the human face as you work at your own pace.
  • Supportive Environment: Enjoy a peaceful, supportive atmosphere where like-minded individuals gather to create and relax.
  • Mindful Art Practise: Engage in a meditative process as you focus on capturing the nuances of the human face. Let the act of drawing quiet your mind and centre your thoughts.
  • Live Models: Hone your skills with real-life subjects, allowing you to deeply connect with the present moment.
  • Relaxing Jazz and Classical Music: To enhance the therapeutic benefits of watercolour painting, our carefully curated mix of classical and jazz music will create a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.
