Graham Canwell's Portrait Workshop

 Here are some pictures from our first post lockdown workshop, with 13 members present. Graham gave an excellent presentation, reviewing portraits from a wide variety of artist and people enjoyed creating portraits mainly from portraits they'd brought along to the session.
