This caricature drawing workshop is a guaranteed success. It starts with the beginning, and the more you sketch the more you get warmed up, and by the end you will see that you too can draw a portrait or caricature. You will learn how to use charcoal, brush, India ink and Conté chalk.

By profession, I was a quick-draw artist at parties. I started in 2003. I teach the technique I used for the first 10 years or so. Now I still draw atmospheric impressions of parties with caricature parts, but I stopped drawing portraits one after the other because of neck complaints.
The first hour we sketch each other with charcoal, we constantly change partners.
We sit facing each other at an oblong table with planks on our laps, resting against the edge of the table.
The second hour we set the lines with brush and India ink and add color with Conté chalk.
I give lots of pointers that will teach you techniques, for example; how to build a portrait, how to build a caricature. How do you draw your nose, the easiest way to draw teeth and hair? The most important technique you learn is to do it, and when you do it together, it gives the dynamics that are so needed. For people who do have drawing experience, it is also a challenge because you work in a group and learn specific things. The price € 350, - is for 10 participants. so the price is € 35, - per person. The workshop I give to groups of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 people. With an odd number it is also possible. The maximum is 50 persons. You make per person 2 sketches with charcoal, and one with the other material; East Indian ink with brush and Conté chalk for the color. The workshop is also possible with only the sketching part. Then it takes 5 quarters of an hour, and costs € 27,- per person.
