Experience in Schools
Peter’s full-day acrylic portrait painting workshop can be tailored to fit the needs and budget of your school. A typical day starts with him talking about his approach to portraiture, explaining artistic process (including demo), layering and using colour. He would then work with the group on a portrait project and spend time with each student, giving practical 1-2-1 guidance to help them develop their own portrait painting skills. His teaching approach is very helpful, energetic and practical.Areas I Cover
