In this class you will learn about the proportions and the structure of the head. I will then lead you through a number of short drawing exercises exploring creative ways to draw self-portraits.

The focus of the class is to explore the shapes of your head using touch rather than visual observation. This helps us to break portraits down into abstract shapes which in fact is really useful for improving figurative drawings too.

Our aim, as always, is to use drawing exercises to get into a flow state of mind and boost happiness.

This class is 1.5 hours…

The class was wonderful, and so original. Alice is a brilliant teacher and creates such a playful, relaxed atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend Portraits by touch!

Draw Art Drawing

There's Only Make

There's Only Make is a collective of artists offering creative courses for everyone to find their flow.

We help people identify and savour the things that bring them joy. Our courses incorporate the tenets of Flow Theory, using creative tasks to experience a state of absorption, where time simultaneously flies by and stands still.

All children dance, sing and draw. Yet, at some point, many of us stopped doing these things. Perhaps we were once told that we couldn’t draw, or that we didn’t sing in tune. Perhaps we have internalised the belief that it is frivolous…
