About this event

Join Norwich-based artist, Liz Monahan, for a fun and creative workshop where you will explore fresh approaches to drawing and painting the face. No experience in portraiture is necessary, just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to try something new.

Liz is an experienced artist and tutor, who will guide you through a variety of simple drawing and painting techniques, to help you experiment with your visual language through mark-making and media exploration. Working from both life and from photographs, you will be encouraged to be bold and free in the process of creating lively and expressive portraits that truly capture the essence of your subject.

During the day we will build a body of work to be shared at the end of the workshop in a supportive group reflection and feedback session.

All materials are provided.

Refreshments will be available throughout the day.

There will be a 45min lunch break at 1pm. Please bring a pack lunch.
