Learn to Draw Portraits Workshop – Drawing Class

Join us at Riverside Beads & Crafts in Market Deeping, near Peterborough for our inspiring Learn to Draw Portraits Workshop, guided by artist Charlotte Shearman Smith.

This welcoming and creative workshop is perfect for anyone who has always wanted to learn how to draw faces or improve their portrait drawing skills. If you are searching for drawing classes near Stamford, art workshops near Bourne, or creative courses across the Deepings and surrounding Lincolnshire villages, this workshop offers a supportive introduction to portraiture.

During the session, Charlotte will guide you step by step through the foundations of portrait drawing using pencils. You will learn how to accurately sketch facial proportions, position features correctly, and understand the structure of the face. As the workshop progresses, you will explore shading techniques that help create depth, form, and expression within your drawings.

This structured workshop makes portrait drawing approachable and enjoyable. Charlotte will break the process down into manageable stages, helping you build confidence as you develop your skills. Along the way, you will learn practical techniques that can be applied to future drawing projects at home.

The workshop is taught at a relaxed pace, making it suitable for complete beginners as well as improvers looking to strengthen their drawing foundations. By the end of the session, you will have your own portrait drawing to take home along with new skills and confidence to continue your artistic journey.

All materials are included, and the workshop takes place in our welcoming in-store classroom at Riverside Beads & Crafts. Complimentary refreshments are available throughout the session.
