The Workshop

Unleash your creativity in this dynamic painting workshop. Learn to capture energy and emotion as we recreate the Floral Portrait of Jenny, a striking piece that embraces bold brushwork, strong contrasts, and soft edges.

In this guided session, you’ll explore:

• The power of loose, expressive strokes to bring your painting to life
• Balancing strong shadows with delicate transitions for depth and impact
• Techniques to loosen up your style and create movement in your work

Perfect for both beginners and experienced artists looking to break free from rigid techniques. Join us for an inspiring session where you’ll gain new skills, confidence, and a stunning portrait to take home.

Grisaille underpainting

We will be working on top of a black and white underpainting pre-printed onto canvas. Don’t worry if your a beginner the drawing is already done. We will learn how to draw on future courses.

Here are some snapshots from our recent workshop, where students worked on the Pre-Raphaelite Style Workshop. As you can see, the participants achieved impressive results.

Beginners and experienced people are welcome. Understanding is key and nobody gets left behind. Each student will be helped until they grasp the principles of the lesson. Louis will be demonstrating each step in front of the group and on students work if needed.
Louis Smith studied Classical Art in Florence and has exhibited his work in the National Portrait Gallery and Royal Society of Portrait Painters.
