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.

In this relaxed and friendly class, you will learn how to draw portraiture using pencils, focusing on the key techniques needed to capture facial features and expression. This workshop is ideal for beginners and anyone looking to build confidence in drawing.

Charlotte will guide you through the process step by step. You will learn how to sketch proportions, place facial features, and use shading to create depth and form. As you work, you will develop your skills and begin to see your drawings come to life.

This workshop offers a structured approach, helping you understand the foundations of portrait drawing while allowing you to progress at your own pace. You will leave with a finished portrait and the confidence to continue practising at home.

At the same time, you can enjoy a calm and welcoming atmosphere. This is a great opportunity to slow down, focus on your creativity, and try something new.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners, as well as anyone looking to improve their drawing skills.
