Event Overview
For this Dabble class, we're starting with the man in the mirror. Get an introduction to the human form and self-portraiture, and learn a number of drawing techniques to help you translate a familiar face from pen to paper.
Beginning to intermediate artists (and non-artists) alike are welcome to attend this workshop, which will have us experimenting briefly with an assortment of materials (ink, charcoal and watercolor-- all of which will be provided) before learning some basic ways of drawing the human bust (shoulders up).
After partnering up and practicing your new skills by drawing the face of a classmate, you will turn your focus to the mirror and yourself and use your new skills and mediums provided to create a self portrait on 5x7 mounted canvas to take home with you!
Keep it for yourself or pass it onto someone who would love to look at your face every day. (So basically, give it to your mom ;)
