Images & feedback from the Step by Step Art Workshops
Karen began an art group tutoring coloured pencils, graphite pencils, acrylic paints and soft pastels back in 2011 in her hometown of Chesterfield, Derbyshire. These groups primarily ran on Wednesday evenings, but extended to Friday afternoons as interest grew. Karen branched out with five week workshops a few years later which were aimed at those wishing to create highly detailed portraits from start to finish. In 2014, Karen left Chesterfield and moved to Northumberland to live with her partner and fellow Artist John Graham. As her dad still lives in Chesterfield she could continue her tutoring, offering 1 day workshops twice a year which runs over a weekend. In 2019, Karen began offering 2-Day workshop too.
Here are some images from previous workshops; from the very first one in October 2011 to the present day, giving you a look inside the venue, and at the subjects that have been covered over the years plus snippets of how Karen organises her workshops too.
