Portrait Drawing Course

Before the invention of photography painted or drawn portraits were the only way of recording a person’s likeness.

Likeness however is not restricted to just visual appearance – a good portrait can be said to ‘capture’ something of the personality of the sitter, and therein lies the beauty and the challenge of drawing portraits.
