Portrait Week Dedham Hall: 23rd-30th October 2027

Carole will help to demystify the process of portrait painting for you. 

This week long course starts with a “warm up” day to improve observation and drawing skills, studying proportions, structure, the features, getting a likeness and skin tones. On subsequent days we will be working from models, starting with several short poses before going on to paint or draw a longer pose in the medium of your choice: watercolour, pastel or acrylics. 

At the end of each day there will be an appraisal to evaluate the day’s work and learn from each other in a friendly environment.

Dedham Hall is a 15th century manor house set in the heart of Constable Country. Owners Jim & Wendy Sarton have been hosting hotel guests and residential art courses here for over 35 years and are renowned for the excellence of their accommodation and dining experience.
