Step into a relaxed, creative space for an engaging 1-hour workshop dedicated to the art of the portrait. Hosted in Bordon, this focused session breaks down the fundamentals of portraiture into an accessible, rewarding process designed to build your confidence and refine your eye.
Working on fine art paper, you’ll combine the precision of pencil sketching with the rich, fluid qualities of gouache. We’ll explore how to translate the human face onto paper by breaking it down into essential shapes, capturing key proportions, and using colour values and tone to build realistic form and shadow. Whether you want to achieve strong likenesses or a more painterly expression, you'll receive personalised, gentle guidance every step of the way.
Date & Time: Saturday, 15th August, 2026 | 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Location: Bordon
Duration: 1 hour
Skill Level: All levels welcome, from complete beginners to advanced artists
Ages: 8+ (a fantastic session for budding young artists and adults alike)
