Portrait Painting Session
Join us for a focused portrait painting session—perfect for artists eager to refine their skills with an extended sitting. You’ll have three uninterrupted hours with a single model, allowing you to dive deep into the details and truly get to grips with the art of portraiture.
What to Expect:
A relaxed, creative atmosphere with calming tunes to keep you in the flow
Tea and coffee to keep you fueled and focused
A chance to immerse yourself in your work without the rush
Expert guidance available—art lecturer Richard Squire NDD ATD will be on hand to offer advice and insight. With 60 years of experience teaching artists of all abilities, he's happy to share his knowledge if you’d like some pointers.
What to Bring:
Your own materials (water-based only—let’s keep it fresh, not fumy)
Easels are available, but feel free to bring your own setup if you prefer
Details:
Pay as you feel, with a suggested contribution of £5 to help cover the model’s fee
Limited to 8 participants—book early to secure your easel!
This is our first session, and if it’s well received, we’ll turn it into a regular monthly event with a cost of around £15-£20.
Come along, get stuck in, and help shape the future of these sessions! Open event for members and non-members.
