Event Overview

In this 2 hour workshop, Dabblers will enjoy a very accessible intro to portrait drawing from a model for both beginners and intermediate students.

Workshop includes demos, warm up exercises and timed poses working from the model, building up to longer sustained poses. Student artists will acquire the basics of capturing portrait drawing with charcoal and will create 1-3 finished portrait drawings on museum archival paper.

Areas of Focus:
- Shape of a picture plane/shaping a composition: use of negative shapes, filling the picture plane, attention to the edge
- Drawing Techniques: using drawing media, value, gesture, line drawing, contour drawing, use of perspective, foreshortening, modeling, tonal drawings

Supportive instructor with many years experience working with all ages and levels of experience in the arts; students receive as much or as little individual interaction as they need. The main focus of the class is for each student to have an enjoyable experience while surprising themselves at how much they can progress in one drawing session.

Minimum age
