Tuesday 28th April 2026 Club Night.

In this live demonstration, professional artist Oriane Pierrepoint will create a charcoal portrait from a photographic reference, focusing on the core principles behind a strong likeness.

She will discuss tonal blocking, measuring and proportion, and mark making in charcoal, showing how a portrait develops from broad value masses into a more refined form.

The demonstration offers insight into both technique and decision-making throughout the drawing process.

During the evening’s demo, we will have a short break for free tea, coffee, and biscuits. This will give us an opportunity to chat with the artist, other Club members and our visitors.

Don’t miss this fantastic chance to learn, socialise, and enjoy an evening of art, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills.

If you’re interested in joining the Club, our membership secretary, Pat will be on the door to give you more information, or else contact us below.

Members free, non-members very welcome – £6 on the door, cash or card. 7.15pm until 9.30pm.

Venue: – SMCH – St Mary’s Church Hall, Eastbury Rd, Thornbury, BS35 1DR Free parking on-site.
