Nail picture-perfect portraits in this beginners illustration workshop!

Sal will lead you in a fun, relaxed class environment and guide you through the foundations of drawing a portrait, using a variety of materials and techniques. Suitable for absolute beginners, or those that would like to expand their existing skills, this course will build your confidence in portrait drawing and covers both quick sketches, as well as more detailed illustrations. Let your inner artist shine through and enjoy plenty of time to play and experiment.
We’ll provide the materials you need to get you on your way to creating a masterpiece, but feel free to bring an image of the one you love (or hate?! whatever floats your boat really) to draw (printed or just on your phone).
Please note: This class requires at least five students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class.

From a young age in the suburbs of South Sydney, Sally was busy getting paint on her mothers carpet. Before the age of 22 she had completed two scholarship residencies in France, and launched a bizarre range of greeting cards that make very little sense, under the name Sit Still Sally.

She can’t actually sit still, and each work is different from the last. Sally completed studies in Fine Arts at the College of Fine Arts, with a focus on oils and watercolours,  and continues to work as a practising, emerging artist in Sydney’s inner west.

With any time left over, she likes to dabble in the world of illustration, design, and other crafty things, inspired by everything nonsensical, colourful and wonderful.
