Working from Reference

Working from Reference

We start by printing a black and white photo that you've either provided, or taken on the night. You'll trade photos with your partner so you'll be drawing each other.


Under Construction

Under Construction

Using light weight construction lines, we'll sketch in the basics. These lines are to give us guidance as we start to fill in detail later. I'll teach you a little about the key anatomy and angles that we'll need to watch out for.


Guidlines

Guidlines

You can use the grid transparency to check your basic shapes. If you need a bit of extra support, we can even trace key structures onto the transparency with a whiteboard marker. Making it easier for you to assess if you've got everything in the right spot.


Building Details

Building Details

Once you're happy with the basic form we can start introducing detail. Building depth with shading and adding the basic features.

It's important at this step not to get too engrossed in one feature. Its very easy to draw the perfect pair of lips, in the wrong spot! Work holistically, building up the entire image helps make sure everything stays where it should!


Finishing Steps

Finishing Steps

Now is the time for detail, be confident in your mark marking knowing that you've got the basics right. Add depth and highlights as needed to bring your image to life.


A fun, relaxed, and slightly chaotic date night where you and your partner will draw each other in portrait form, all with a complimentary drink and some nibbles.
This beginner-friendly art experience is designed for laughter, connection, and creative play—not perfection. At the beginning of the session, students will be asked to provide a reference photo for their partner, which they will use as the basis for their portrait drawing. Don't have one? Don't worry, we can take a couple of sneaky selfies on the night.
We’ll guide you through the fundamentals of portrait drawing, including proportion, shading, and essential sketching techniques, making this session accessible even if you’ve never drawn before.
This isn’t about creating a flawless likeness—it’s about the experience of seeing (and drawing) your partner in a completely new way… with plenty of humour, and maybe a little shared “trauma bonding” in the best possible way.
Perfect for couples, first dates, girls' night, or anyone willing to risk drawing their significant other’s face from scratch. Tickets are sold on a per-person basis (two tickets will be needed for a couple).
All materials are provided, along with some nibbles and a complimentary drink. Don't forget, you can always head downstairs to Si Paradiso afterwards, or explore the Beaufort St Cafe Strip.

An A4 portrait of varying skill level
Knowledge required
