We are pleased to welcome John back to the Folkestone Art Society to lead a session on portraiture using charcoal. John has an unconventional style and approach which always makes things interesting. At the end of the session John’s aim is to get a loose expressionistic picture produced by people rather than a strictly literal portrait of the subject or photo.
It’s another way of looking at how to see the face.
