​Portrait Drawing (in person)
February 27 - March 3, 2023
Monday - Friday  5 days
9am-12:30pm
$465
Create a figure drawing with a focus on portraiture while working from the live model. You will learn to break down the process of drawing with a step-by-step approach learning how to simplify light and shadow into shapes in order for them to evolve into the details of facial structures, all while enabling you to achieve a likeness. Studying the essential structural landmarks of the human figure combined with the shifts of plane, you will have a better understanding of how light falls onto your subject and creates shadow shapes.  Crafting depth of space by controlling your edges will lead you to produce the magic of a 3-dimensional figure on a 2-dimensional picture plane. Beginning of the workshop, the class will review drawing materials, toning paper, then basic drawing elements thoroughly on the first day, then from the second day, students will have a model in the same pose for the rest of the workshop to complete the drawing.

We will focus on the beginning stage by simplifying light and shadow to create shapes with a step- by-step approach, which will then allow you to build the detail of the body and achieve a likeness with human expression.
