Draw portraits with more freedom, clarity, and feeling.
A Portraiture workshop for beginner and advanced artists who want to loosen their hand, sharpen their eye, and capture the essence of a face.
Learn with Dylan through personal guidance, group practice, drawn from decades of drawing experience.
Reserve your spot
A portrait is more than a correct outline.
It is posture, proportion, contrast, expression, rhythm, and the quiet details that make a person recognizable.
In this workshop, Dylan guides you through a clear, artistic approach to portrait drawing. You will practice observing more carefully, simplifying complex forms, measuring by eye what you actually see, and building portraits with confidence.
The focus is not stiff perfection. The focus is seeing clearly, sketching loosely, and creating portraits with life.
Who this workshop is for
This workshop is for artists who want to draw portraits with more confidence.
You are welcome if you are just beginning and want a clear foundation.
You are also welcome if you already draw and want to loosen your work, improve your observation, and bring more depth into your portraits.
The workshop is taught in English and includes both personal and group learning with Dylan.
What you will learn
You will learn how to:
- Sketch portraits with a looser, more natural hand
- Simplify the face without losing character
- Observe shapes, proportions, and relationships more accurately
- Measure angles and distances so the portrait holds together
- Use contrast to create structure and focus
- Build tonal values that give the face depth
- Capture the mood, presence, and essence of your subject
- Work with graphite, color, ink, and watercolor in a practical way
- Develop a more confident process from first marks to finished study
How the workshop feels
Expect a warm, focused learning space.
Dylan teaches through demonstration, guided exercises, and direct feedback. You will work alongside other artists, see different approaches, and receive support as your drawing develops.
The pace is attentive and practical. You will not be left guessing what to do next. Each step helps you see more clearly and make stronger choices on the page.
Materials
Please bring your favourite materials that allow you to explore line, tone, color, and texture.
Recommended materials:
- Graphite pencils
- Colored pencils
- Blending stump or tortillon
- Calligraphy pens
- Water brush
- Watercolors
- Watercolor brushes
- Drawing paper or sketchbook
- Watercolor paper or mixed-media paper
You do not need every tool to begin. Bring what you have, and Dylan will help you use it with intention.
By the end of the workshop, you will have:
- A clearer process for starting and developing a portrait
- Better control of proportion, angles, and distances
- More confidence working with light, dark, and tonal values
- A looser, more expressive approach to sketching
- Practical ways to simplify what you see
- Personal feedback to support your growth
- New portrait studies that reflect your own artistic hand

Ob du Anfänger*in oder fortgeschrittene*r Künstler*in bist, dieser deutschsprachige Workshop ist darauf ausgelegt, dir auf unterhaltsame und ansprechende Weise die Kunst des Porträtzeichnens beizubringen.
In diesem Workshop begibst du dich auf eine Reise von lockeren Anfängen zu verfeinerten Porträts. Du wirst die Kraft von Form, Reduktion und subtiler Auswahl bei der Erstellung lebhafter Porträts erkunden. Wir helfen dir, über das hinaus zu sehen, was du zu sehen glaubst, und leiten dich dabei an, die wahre Essenz deiner Motive auf Papier festzuhalten. Was du lernen wirst: 1. **Die Kunst des lockeren Skizzierens meistern:** Wir beginnen mit schnellen und lockeren Skizzen, um deine Kreativität in Schwung zu bringen. Du lernst, die Lockerheit in deinen Zeichnungen beizubehalten und gleichzeitig näher an die Ähnlichkeit deiner Motive heranzukommen. 2. **Komplexe Motive auf das Wesentliche reduzieren:** Lerne, komplexe Motive zu vereinfachen und dich auf das Wesentliche zu konzentrieren. Diese Fähigkeit wird dir helfen, kraftvollere und ausdrucksstärkere Porträts zu erstellen. 3. **Mit den Augen messen:** Entwickle deine Beobachtungsfähigkeiten und lerne, Winkel und Abstände als grundlegende Bausteine für genaue und ausdrucksstarke Zeichnungen zu verwenden. 4. **Kontraste wahrnehmen und Tonwerte unterscheiden:** Verstehe das Spiel von Licht und Schatten bei der Formgebung deiner Zeichnungen. Lerne, dies bewusst zu nutzen, um den Fokus deiner Bilder hervorzuheben. Zusätzlich zu all dem bietet der Workshop eine großartige Gelegenheit zum persönlichen und gemeinschaftlichen Lernen. Du wirst nicht nur von Dylans jahrzehntelangen Erfahrungen profitieren, sondern auch von und mit deinen Mitschüler*innen lernen. Komm mit auf diese spannenden Entdeckungs- und Kreativreise! Materialien: Bringe dein Lieblings Skizzen bedarf mit! Mein Empfehlungen: Blei und Buntstifte (Nicht wasserlöslich) Blendingstump/Tortillon Calligraphy pens Wasserpinsel Aquarellfarben (Gris Kästchen falls vorhanden aber alles geht ;)) Aquarellpinseln – flach 5mm bis 20mm breit und rund 5mm bis 15mm breit Beliebiges zeichenpapier/skizzenbuch und Aquarell/Mixedmedia papier |
