About

Embark on an inspiring day of artistic discovery with acclaimed portrait artist Adele Wagstaff in this immersive workshop dedicated to expressive portraiture. Set against the serene backdrop of Charleston, you'll have the unique opportunity to work from a clothed model, capturing the essence of character and emotion through your brush.

Under Adele's expert guidance, you'll delve into key elements of portraiture—exploring composition, colour, and the techniques that bring life and personality to your work. Whether you're a seasoned artist seeking to refine your approach or new to painting, Adele provides personalised instruction tailored to your level, helping you unlock your full artistic potential.

Throughout the day, you'll be encouraged to experiment, take creative risks, and deepen your understanding of portraiture in a relaxed and supportive environment. With the perfect balance of technical skill and expressive freedom, this workshop promises to leave you not only with new skills but also with a renewed sense of inspiration and confidence in your artistic practice.

The workshop includes an exclusive tour of the modernist home and studio at Charleston, providing a glimpse into its rich artistic history, along with all the materials you'll need to bring your creations to life.

Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, including a delicious lunch made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
