Bold Faces

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create three bold, expressive portraits using collage, oil pastel, and ink —each with its own mood and visual impact.

By working with one image across three mediums, you’ll explore how tools and textures affect tone, style, and interpretation. We’ll focus on strong shapes, simplified forms, and graphic contrasts—no need for perfect likenesses!

Perfect for anyone interested in character, expression, or visual storytelling, this workshop is a great way to break out of your usual drawing habits and see portraiture in a fresh new light.

You’ll learn:

- How to approach portrait-making with a bold, graphic mindset

- Techniques for working expressively with collage, pastel, and ink

- How style and medium can shift the emotional tone of an image

Whether you’re a beginner or more seasoned, this is a chance to loosen up, get inspired, and create intriguing, expressive portraits.
