Drawing the Portrait

​

Saturday, November 13,

9:30am–12:30pm

​

Learn how to draw the human portrait using charcoal and a photo of your choice. In this class you will learn how to study the structure and form of the head, neck, and shoulders to develop a portrait, as well as discuss the details of drawing facial features and how to emphasize values, shape, and edges. Students may use graphite pencils and drawing paper if preferred – however, charcoal is more flexible, easer to blend and adjust on paper, and more efficient when covering the paper surface.
