Life & Portrait Drawing

This class is designed for beginners! This basic figure drawing class will provide hands—on instruction in drawing, from basic sketching through finished drawings and portrait sketches. We will work using a variety of different mediums including pencil, charcoal, pastel, and color pencil mediums.

The class will use models, and photographs.

Each class period there will be at least one drawing assignment. Each class will begin with “warm up” sketches using blocking-in and/or gestural methods. We will attempt to complete as many “finished” drawings as the class progress will allow.

The class will require the student to purchase some equipment and supplies.
