Mastering Portraiture - Drawing Workshop with Dr Kay Kane

Whether building foundations or refining skills already possessed, the focus remains the same: portraiture drawing that is grounded in clear seeing, rather than photographic imitation.

Participants will practise selecting, organising and simplifying so that accurate, eloquent observation becomes second nature. This disciplined seeing is the necessary groundwork for any expressive interpretation of the human face but can equally be applied to subjects other than portraiture.

Throughout the five weeks, Dr Kane will teach these fundamentals to the group while also giving regular one-to-one feedback, so every participant, whether first-time or returning, receives personal guidance tailored to their stage of development.

Returning artists often discover that revisiting the same principles with individual attention reveals new layers of understanding and opens fresh possibilities for expression. New students gain a solid, structured pathway into portraiture. In both cases the aim is the same: to experience the living connection between structural understanding and expressive interpretation of the human visage.

Spaces are limited.

Materials supplied by tutor. The workshop will be held in the upstairs studio gallery, which is only accessible via a flight of stairs.
