Portrait Painting

Drawing & Painting

Through demonstrations and guided practice, you will learn the fundamentals of drawing and painting the portrait.

Over the term, you will build confidence in your abilities while exploring proportions, measurement, negative space, and tone.

We will work from a life model in class, but you are welcome to bring a reference photo if you prefer to focus on a specific portrait.

All mediums are welcome, please bring your preferred dry or wet medium to work with.

 

This course is suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists.
