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 reference photograph during the classes and the skills learned can be used in the future for drawing any subject matter.
You will take away your finished portrait, fully framed and ready for hanging. You will have access to our private Facebook group where you can upload your work, keep in touch will fellow graduates and receive ongoing support. The tuition fee for the full course is €275 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. Course numbers are limited so early booking is advisable.

LATEST TESTIMONIAL
"I loved every minute of it. Art isn't an easy subject to teach, but Alan is a wonderful step-by-step teacher. I've been drawing portraits for a number of years, but they were always hit and miss till now. Since I did Alan's course, I feel I have the tools to produce much better portraits than before, because I have a method to follow. Im already telling friends: "Go do Alan's course!" I'm signing up for his Charcoal Course in the autumn. M.A. Connolly
