Portraits for Beginners with Ally

Date & Time

About this Event

If you’ve always wanted to draw portraits but never known where to start, this relaxed workshop is for you.

  • We’ll break the face down into simple, manageable shapes
  • Explore proportions and likeness
  • Use shading to bring your drawing to life.

We’ll be working from photos, so feel free to bring one along if you have someone in mind.

We’ll be working with dry materials, pencils and paper and maybe some charcoal if you want to get a little messy. Either way, just calm, focused drawing.

All basic materials are included but please bring your own if you prefer.

Complete beginners warmly welcomed.

Ally genuinely loves drawing, especially portraits she’s excited to share that joy with others.
If you’ve always been scared of drawing, or convinced you can’t draw, this is exactly the workshop for you. You’ll be shown simple, doable steps, and you might surprise yourself with what you can create.
