Acrylic paints will modify or enhance the patterns to create a cohesive picture. Suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists.

Charcoal Portraits - Kate Smith
Charcoal is the easiest and most versatile of mediums. Portraiture is slightly more challenging because it does require some accuracy to create a likeness.

Greek Binding -Anna Yevtukh-Squire

Suitable for all levels of experience. Materials: £10 payable on the day.
