Let’s FACE IT—portraits can be one of the most challenging (and rewarding) subjects in art.
There’s nothing like the thrill of watching a face take shape right on the page—the moment your lines click, and the portrait starts to breathe. In this workshop, you’ll step into that moment again and again, building confidence with each mark and discovering how expression and structure work together.
Join us for a fun, immersive workshop where you’ll learn the “ins and outs” of portrait drawing—so you can create with more energy, emotion, and excitement.
Through a series of live demos, guided exercises, and one-on-one feedback, you’ll discover how to draw portraits with bold, confident structure and expressive rhythm.
You’ll leave with:
• A deeper understanding of portraiture
• Stronger instincts for looseness, structure, and expression
• A renewed connection to your own creative voice!
Whether you’re new to portrait drawing or ready to break out of stiffness and reconnect with the fundamentals, this class will give you the skills and mindset to keep going.
Taught by Cameron McCool, local artist and creator of @LifeDrawingBellingham.
Open to all levels • All materials provided • Let’s start creating!
~ We’ll have breaks throughout for questions, chat, and refuel—so bring a snack if you like ~
