FUNDAMENTALS OF DRAWING
WITH INSTRUCTORS FROM
Great drawing skills are the backbone of all great painting. This two-day class will focus first on drawing a still life and a human figure. Workshop and study will include:
- Study of the skull
- Light and shadow on the plains of the face
- Study of individual facial feature structure
- How to create strong portraiture composition/design with use of value massing
- Drawing people from life and from photo reference
Though this is a drawing class, integral knowledge will be gained to support and enrich skill towards masterful portrait painting. The class will include foundational studies that will be useful for beginning, intermediate and even advanced portrait artists if they feel that their foundational studies might have any gaps in the above mentioned areas.
