A course by Sam Brisley
Sam Brisley relates his passion for portraiture and history to his hometown Stratford-upon-Avon, where Shakespeare was born. Incorporating historical elements into his portraits such as costumes and hair styles is his way of bringing his two passions together to create unique works of art. As a structural engineer from nine to five, and a portrait artist in his free time, Sam has been learning about portraiture, figure drawing, anatomy, and gesture drawing from a young age, always finding time to keep developing his abilities.
Sam has taught a number of drawing workshops, ranging from portraiture, figure drawing, and more. He also shares his work in progress drawings with his followers on Instagram to help others improve.
