Figures in Colour
This workshop is a perfect next step for those who have explored life drawing or anyone eager to experiment further with figure portraits.
Rather than focusing solely on close-up facial details, you’ll explore a broader approach to portraiture—working with anatomy, proportions, color mixing, light and shadow, and expressive brushwork.
