The Charcoal Hare ... The Art of Expressive Animal Portraiture with Sarah Stokes

A one-day charcoal drawing course with wildlife artist Sarah Stokes, creating a full-face hare portrait at Greystoke Craft Garden and Barns.

Professional wildlife artist Sarah Stokes leads a day course focused on drawing a hare portrait in charcoal. The morning explores the importance of tone as participants draw a full-face depiction of the hare, capturing its wary gaze, working on convincing fur, eyes and expression. After a homemade lunch, the afternoon is spent finishing the piece with detail and poise. The session runs 9.30am to 5.00pm in the first-floor Swallow Barn, which is accessed by stairs.
