In a concise lead, introduce the Ormond Adult Art Class and its focus on graphite portraits, highlighting what beginners will learn. Then weave in the educational angle: explain how portraiture trains observational skills and how the brain processes faces and expressions. Describe practical techniques or prompts students will encounter (proportions, shading, capturing personality) and why these matter beyond drawing. Include a brief note on logistics (what to bring, duration, location, fees) to guide readers who might attend. End with a call to action inviting readers to try a simple at-home exercise inspired by the class.
