Autumn 2025 Portrait Workshop
We are delighted to announce a brand-new Portrait Workshop for Autumn 2025!
Join us for a half-day session led by Richard Squire (NDD ATD) – an accomplished figurative artist with over 61 years of experience both practising and teaching art.
Running from 10am to 2pm, the workshop includes live demonstration, individual guidance, and plenty of time to work from a life model. Richard will share his methods, materials and techniques, helping you to gain confidence and develop your drawing skills.
All materials are provided, and there will be a short break for lunch (please bring your own). Tea and coffee will be available throughout.
Whether you are a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this promises to be an inspiring and enjoyable session.
