Portrait drawing is a means of describing an individual in a very unique way—a personal, visual representation of a moment in time of an artist and sitter. As the artist works to understand the relationships of the landmarks that compose an individual and render them in their likeness they also reveal a side of themselves otherwise never seen. In this class, we will work with live models and cover everything from skin to skeleton. We will work to develop the skills to analyze what we are seeing when we look at a person and render it accordingly. The class is open to and can benefit all skill levels from beginners to experts.
