Here's a fantastic way to improve your face-drawing skills! In this lively series class, you'll learn techniques for freer, more expressive portraits using acrylic paint on bristol paper. The dramatically lighted model is drawn by artists working at sitting or standing easels (provided). The model's face is simultaneously visible on an oversized monitor. Poses are timed at 10 to 30 minutes to encourage you to let go of your preconceptions of what portrait painting should be. Materials are provided.
All skill levels welcome. Ages 16 and up. Register with a friend and get 10% off per person.
Class will meet weekly on Wednesdays from 6:30 - 8:30 PM. Class dates are November 6, November 13, November 20, (SKIP November 27) December 4, December 11, and December 18.
