Intermediate Portrait Drawing
This class will take place over five consecutive Tuesdays starting September 24. Signing up for individual sessions is not allowed.
Ages 16+
Skill level: Students should have basic drawing skills but want to improve*.
This course introduces portrait drawing, focusing on fundamental techniques, concepts, and principles essential for capturing a subject's likeness and personality. Through a combination of theory, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, students will develop their skills in observation, proportion, shading, and expression, ultimately gaining confidence in creating realistic and expressive portraits.
*An intermediate skill level does not need to directly refer to portrait drawing. As long as you have some grasp on drawing fundamentals like basic shapes and perspective, you will get more from the class. It is OK if you are new to portrait drawing.
