Contemporary Portrait Sessions - hosted by Jessica Britton

  • Craven Hall Sackville Street Skipton, England, BD23 United Kingdom (map)

Join Jessica Britton every second Saturday of the month where together, you will practice, experiment, and explore portraiture through the expressive power of colour. A compelling portrait doesn’t just capture a likeness — it feels alive, stirs emotion, and reveals the essence of the sitter. In this relaxed, untutored session, you’ll be encouraged to play with bold colour combinations on the live model using costume, dynamic backdrops, and coloured lighting.

Beginners will gain confidence exploring new ideas in a supportive, pressure-free space, while experienced artists can push the boundaries of their practice and discover fresh inspiration. Come ready to experiment, take creative risks, and see portraiture in a whole new light.

Note: Novembers Contemporary Saturday session runs on the first Saturday due to Jenny Aitken’s Workshop on the 14th.
