“This is the workshop that covers all that.
“I will help people to advance their confidence in drawing and share the knowledge I have learned over the years.”
Budding artists of those who want to improve are encouraged to bring a project and idea or just an open mind to the workshops.
Chris promises “a fun few hours of learning, sketching and laughing”.
