Life Drawing

Organised by : Pallant House Gallery

Explore portraiture through a Pop Art lens with award winning artist Wendy Barratt, creating bold and expressive works inspired by the Pop and the Figure exhibition at Pallant House Gallery.

In this one-day workshop, youll work directly from a live model, using drawing techniques to develop striking, pop-inspired portraits. Through a series of guided exercises, youll explore ways to simplify and exaggerate features, experimenting with line, tone, pattern and composition to create dynamic images.

In the afternoon, youll build on these approaches to develop a more resolved piece, with guidance on working confidently and expressively in drawing. Wendy will share techniques for translating observation into bold, stylised portraits, encouraging you to balance accuracy with creative interpretation.

During the day, youll also have the opportunity to visit the exhibition, exploring how artists associated with Pop Art have reimagined the figure through colour, pattern and visual language.
