Approaches to Portraiture

Spend a rewarding day learning with one of Dorset’s most experienced tutors and recent participant in Sky Arts’ Landscape Artist of the Year Season 11 (airing from January 2026), Tom Winter.

Learn the rudiments or advance your knowledge of portraiture using materials of your choice.

This workshop is running alongside Tom’s solo exhibition, Lightscapes, in the gallery at Coda Music & Arts Trust.

Please bring your own art materials to the workshop including a sketchbook and pencils plus your preference  in terms of paints/pastels/inks etc alongside painting surfaces (canvas, stretched watercolour paper etc).  Please also bring a camera/camera phone.

Spaces are limited to 10 – please book early to secure your place.

This is a class for age 18+.

Although homemade cake and light refreshments will be provided throughout the day, you will need to bring your own packed lunch.
