About this Event

Overview

Join us for a creative 7-week journey into portrait and figure painting at Morningside Library. This friendly evening class is designed to take you step by step from drawing fundamentals to expressive painting.

Each week, you’ll explore a new skill – from mastering proportions and capturing light and shadow, to experimenting with line, colour, and brushwork. By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence to create your own expressive portrait or figure painting.

What to expect:

  • Supportive, hands-on tuition in drawing and painting
  • A relaxed and welcoming environment for all skill levels
  • Structured weekly progression from pencil to paint
  • Guidance on proportion, tone, colour mixing, and expression
  • Opportunities to experiment and develop your personal style

Whether you’re a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced artist seeking fresh inspiration, this course will give you the tools and confidence to bring your portraits and figure paintings to life.
