Organised by

Barry MITCHELL

I work as a realist/figurative painter & sculptor, often obsessed with detail but always trying to express the big picture.

I absolutely love drawing, it is the foundation/grammar of my work and I love the mission of teaching the craft to others.

I want my workshops to be serious interactive fun for beginners & experienced alike (we're all on the learning curve).

Although there is absolutely nothing wrong with working from photos, the fundamental process of these four workshops is to work directly from a live model.
