The portrait artist Margaret Foreman RBA has been a professional portrait painter for twenty five years, she was academically trained at Goldsmith’s College Of Art for four years and as a post graduate student at The Royal Academy for three years. In 1980 Margaret won the BP National Portrait Gallery Award. Margaret’s portraits are beautifully colourful with a wonderful sense of three dimensional pictorial space.

This 2 day course provides a great foundation for the budding portrait artist, but there is so much information that many people come back time after time. Margaret will take you through the creative process one step at a time.

Margaret will begin by giving a brief introductory, informal talk about portraits and will include examples from her own portfolio. She will teach her particular method of portrait painting, but will pay attention to the basic skills required to give an accurate likeness of the sitter. Tuition and individual attention will be friendly, and constructive, and a number of people return to Margaret’s courses due to the relaxed and inspiring atmosphere. Both beginners and experienced artists are welcome in the exciting venue of Flint House.  

Price: £120.00 (€175.00). Deposit of £50 (€75.00) to be paid on booking.

Materials: Please bring your own artists materials. Margaret will be happy to provide some of her own materials to supplement your own if necessary.
