Schoolhouse for Art

Portraiture  in Charcoal & Coloured Pencil with Marie Le Men. In this Schoolhouse for Art workshop, figurative artist Marie Le Men will teach you various techniques to complete a portrait from life, using your observation skills and working in charcoal pencils and colour pastels. You will learn how to bring your sketching skills to the next level by introducing subtle details and bringing in life and mood through spontaneous use of varied marks and a focus on contrasting values.

This weekend  workshop offers time and space to explore drawing in the relaxed and beautiful setting of Russborough working between the indoor studio and outdoors on the grounds, drawing from the landscape, plants, and natural forms.
