Service Description

This workshop welcomes artists of all levels to study the portrait in graphite in a calm, unhurried atmosphere. Across 3 days, students will be guided through one or two long poses, allowing plenty of time for demonstration, critiques and independent drawing as they work towards completing beautifully rendered final images. Laura invites her students to explore a slow, naturalistic approach to drawing which allows for thoughtful observation and a balance of optical and conceptual knowledge. Topics which will be covered across the 3 days include; - Understanding graphite as a medium - The practice and science of drawing - Gestural ‘block-in’ of the head and features - Understanding light and form - Supporting your drawing with knowledge of anatomy - Achieving a likeness This course is suitable for complete beginners and advanced artists alike, and will be ideal for students who would like to work at a steady pace to create images with precision, grace and sensitivity. All materials, Tea and Coffee provided
