“Portraiture is a way of recording people. Their
personality, character, status, the place and time they
lived, the environment in which they live or simply showing
beauty.”
Designed for those with minimal drawing skills, this portraiture
course focuses on applying measuring methods, proportion,
and alignment when depicting the human face and figure.
Using pencil, charcoal and pastel, students will work from
a live, clothed model, capturing the face in simplified
terms through basic structural studies of the face and skull
as well as understanding the body and its form.
Tuiton includes both instruction fees and the model's fee.
Class size will be 6 to 12 students.
