Made at PSAD: portrait studies

Portrait work is never just about likeness - it’s about looking closely, noticing tone, shape, expression and character, then finding your own way to put that on paper or canvas.

From loose, expressive marks to bold colour and more detailed studies, these works show the range of approaches students explore at PSAD through drawing, painting and mixed media.

If you spotted your work, let us know in the comments - we’d love to celebrate it with you.

Want to build your own confidence with portrait drawing or painting? Autumn Term courses are now open - book through the link in bio.

What does Autumn Term at PSAD actually mean? 🍂

Unlike our shorter holiday courses, Autumn Term gives you more time to settle into a practice, build your skills and see your work develop over several weeks.

Courses run for 6–12 weeks, with regular studio time and expert tuition across drawing, painting, pottery, printmaking, photography, textiles and more.

There are options for complete beginners, returning students and more experienced artists, as well as dedicated courses for children and young people. And if you’re looking for something a little different, the programme also includes Egg Tempera, Lithography, Garden Design, Sculpture in Ceramics and a six-week Drawing on Location course at the National Gallery.

Most courses begin across September, with selected later-starting and PAYG options available too.
