Description
A portrait drawing workshop for beginners and experienced artists who want to loosen their hand, sharpen their eye, and capture the essence of a face. Learn alongside Dylan through demonstrations, guided practice, and personal instruction informed by decades of drawing experience.
A portrait is more than a drawing of a face. It is posture, proportion, contrast, expression, rhythm, and the quiet details that make a person recognizable.
In this workshop, Dylan will guide you through a clear, artistic approach to portrait drawing. You'll practice observing more carefully, simplifying complex forms, measuring 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 full of life.
**Exact supplies will be posted within 30 days of the workshop.
Workshop Schedule:
Friday thru Sunday
- 10:00 – 5:00 - Workshop
Expect a warm, welcoming, and focused learning environment.
Dylan teaches through demonstrations, guided exercises, and personal feedback. You'll work alongside other artists, explore different approaches, and receive support as your portraits develop.
The pace is attentive and practical, allowing you to build your skills step by step. Each exercise will help you see more clearly, make stronger artistic choices, and develop greater confidence in your work.

- Graphite pencils
- Colored pencils
- Blending stump or tortillon

MEET DYLAN SARA
Dylan loves drawing people and drawing with people.
He's spent the past decade teaching and parenting, and appreciates cultivating and sharing creative focus. It's a wonderful resource that we all have within us and can tap into.
Portrait sketching is a central part of both his personal creative practice and his teaching. He sees it as an accessible way to connect with creativity, whether through quick studies, simple and elegant line drawings, or the foundations of more in-depth portraits.
