Program Description: We will be working from a live model. Emphasis will be on lighting, features, values, composition, background, drapery, and anatomy. We’ll focus on developing a technical proficiency in rendering the portrait while working from direct observation. Emphasis on understanding anatomy, proportion, value and form and how it relates to portrait drawing. We will also concentrate on the importance of a well-balanced and thoughtfully executed piece through understanding composition using both drawing & painting media. Student work will be evaluated daily through individual critiques during class by the instructor.
