Ready to dive into portrait drawing but prefer a self-guided approach to your learning? Then join our untutored portrait workshop, where the canvas is yours to conquer! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, this open studio environment offers you the freedom to experiment, create, and refine your skills at your own pace. In this portrait workshop: Exploring the Human Face, drawing and painting isn't just about creating art; it's a journey into self-awareness and relaxation through the power of creativity, allowing you to engage in a process of mindfulness, self-discovery, and personal growth. No prior drawing or painting experience is necessary – our workshops are open to all levels, from first timers and beginners to those with more experience.
The course will introduce you to some of the most enduring photographic portraits and provide discussion on why they remain so seminal. The course includes an introduction to lighting and composition techniques for portraiture, as well as providing guidance on shutter speed, aperture, lenses, and other visual controls. You will use studio flash lighting to explore basic techniques in formal and informal portrait photography – though all of the techniques taught are transferrable to natural and other lighting media. There will be time for participants to photograph under three standard lighting set-ups. Some digital SLR photography experience is recommended. Morning The morning session centres on discussion of the work of some classic portrait photographers and standard techniques employed. The discussions will include elements of composition, pose, gesture, format and technique. Afternoon The afternoon session will cover practical studio lighting, standard lighting set-ups, direction of sitters, and time permitting also a brief introduction to some of the editing capabilities of Adobe Photoshop. Project Days are designed for those who are already familiar with digital photography processes but who want to pursue a particular aspect or develop more specific skills in one or more areas. This course is the perfect follow-on from our Digital SLR training courses and will support you in building upon your existing knowledge of DSLR camera skills and becoming a better photographer in general. It will help you to work confidently on your own creative projects and develop the artist in you. Courses are subject to minimum enrolment.
