Drawing & Painting the Face: Weekend Workshop



Lucy Stopford and I are already looking forward to 2027! 

Based on feedback from our last weekend workshop, we’re going to try a slightly different approach this time: we’ll start with drawing in charcoal on the first day, then move on to painting in oils on the second day. Both mediums offer a way to understand our subject through tone, and render it through layering. There will be practical guidance in foundational skills like facial proportions and colour mixing, along with philosophical emphasis on gesture and mark-making. A challenging yet enjoyable weekend all around!

Portrait Painting Weekend Workshop: new dates, January 24-25, 2026



Lucy Stopford and I will be teaching a weekend portrait-painting workshop in January of 2026 -- come paint with us! 

We cover technical and philosophical aspects of painting, with a foundation in colour-mixing and tone alongside emphasis on observation and mark-making. 

 

You'll get live demonstrations from both Lucy and I, as well as plenty of time at your own easel, with opportunities to work from both photo references as well as a live model. Experience is helpful but not required!
