Workshop Description
This playful, welcoming class is open to all—no prior drawing experience required. Through prompts and exploratory exercises, participants will learn the basics of portrait drawing while experimenting with creative expression. Using a mix of media, line styles, proportions, and symbols, you’ll be guided to reimagine the portrait as a way to create playfully and communicate beyond realism.
