Draw from a live model! This class is open to any level of portrait-drawing experience. Ink brush and wash techniques have been a common sketching technique for centuries. The quickness and lightness of the method allows for an elegance and flow that pencils or ballpoint pens do not permit. Ink’s permanence turns the drawing into a kind of successive game, where each line must work with and against others to create space, volume, and tension. Students will work to capture the anatomical landmarks and value pattern of the head, while focusing on economy of line and simplicity of expression. Students... will leave class with a clear idea about how to stylize their portrait drawings for ink work.
Short classes make parking a breeze! $4 for 3.5 hours at Structure 6, right around the corner.
