Portrait Drawing Classes

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.
You will take away your finished portrait, fully framed and ready for hanging. If you wish, you can include this or other work in our annual Art Exhibition. 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. You also become a member of "Alan's Drawing Room" group which holds weekly drawing sessions on Tuesday evenings for students who have completed this course. 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
"When I signed up for Alan's course, I had hoped to pick up some techniques that I could apply to my coloured pencil art. Well, I certainly achieved that, and a whole lot more. Now, I see shapes and light and shadows in (and around!) absolutely everything I look at. And I have a framed picture that I'm proud to hang up on my wall. Alan is a wonderful teacher, as well as a gifted artist. I would absolutely recommend this course for anyone interested in creating a perfect likeness". Antoinette Fennell
