Portrait Drawing and Painting

This is an intensive, hands-on drawing and
portrait painting program class with a live model.  There will be a one hour demonstration at the
beginning of the course with smaller demos throughout the entire 7 weeks. There
will also be extensive one-on-one instruction for each participant. This
program is designed for beginners to advanced artists. The each model will pose
for 2 weeks consecutively, same pose.
This course will enable the student to develop the knowledge and
practical experience in drawing and painting the human head according to
contemporary artistic principles.  You
will need your own art supplies; we have easels for you.  See the attached supplies list.  All class participants will cover:

  • Hands on experience of drawing
         the head.

  • An understanding of how light plays
         on the human head and how it controls likeness

  • How to control the various
         planes of the face

  • How to turn the head in
         different directions in a drawing

  • Understand how to measure form
         when drawing.

         flesh tones

  • Beginners in portrait art can expect to draw
    extensively at first. For beginners, we will also be using black and white
    paint only for a few sessions (if not more) in the beginning of this course.  Please complete and mail the attached
