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 February 26 to April 2.
**This is a 6 week course. Refunds will not be given for missed classes, or for registrations canceled less than 48 hours before the start of the first session. For a full refund, please email dkapner@mccollcenter.org before February 2, 2025.
