Portrait Drawing Classes
One and a half hour private one-to-one lessons are available during weekdays and some evenings during the winter months in his new studio in Foxrock, Dublin 18. During lockdown all classes will be via ZOOM.
​

The aim of the course is to give participants at all levels of ability, the methods and techniques to create a lifelike portrait including the theory and practice to add depth, volume, atmosphere and life to portrait drawings. You will learn how to render realistic hair and create complex textures like skin with a layering approach, tonal value relationships, drawing details and working with different kinds of contrast to achieve a balanced visual interest. Participants will draw from a detailed photograph during the classes and the skills learned can be used in the future for drawing any subject matter. 

On the final day, you will take away your finished portrait, fully framed and ready for hanging. The tuition fee for the full course is €350 and your place can be secured with a €50 deposit refundable up to a week prior to the start of the course. The balance must be paid a week in advance of the start.
