Learn how to draw portraits of children - inspired by Joan Eardley

Simply take along a photo of a ‘wee one’ to inspire you and an old shirt or apron to wear. The 90-minute workshops are free and they provide all the materials.

Joan Eardley often complained that ‘the weans just won’t sit still!’ despite the lure of thruppence for the cinema or a new comic to read Joan’s models found it difficult to hold a pose for long.

She had to work fast and if you have ever tried to draw your children or grandchildren you will understand the challenges Joan faced trying to capture the fleeting expression or a shy smile.
