Portrait Exchange #6 @ Greenhouse Studios
Event description
Portrait Exchange is a social portrait drawing night where you create and receive artwork. Sitting opposite someone, a familiar face or someone you meet on the night, you will each draw each other’s portrait, gifting the finished artwork to the sitter.
You are welcome bring along someone you want to draw: a best friend, a grandparent, a flatmate, a neighbour, a first date, someone you would like to get to know better… or you can decide to draw (whilst being drawn by) a complete stranger!
Portrait Exchange is back from a brief hiatus at a beautiful new venue:
🌱Greenhouse Studios🌱
Everyone is Welcome!
Portrait Exchange attracts a diverse crowd, from practicing artists to those who haven’t drawn since primary school. The drawing is semi-guided, but expression and experimentation is prioritised: feel free to ask for as much (or as little) advice as you require.
The sessions are facilitated by local artist Jaslyn Brown who will be there to assist with drawing techniques or any questions you may have.
Portrait Exchange is a judgement-free zone and a safe space to explore portrait drawing in whatever way feels most authentic.
Drawing reciprocal portraits is a fun and fascinating study in perception, a unique experience where everyone leaves more connected —and with a piece of art made for exclusively for them!
