Setting a goal or challenge is super helpful in finding that focus you need for your art, so in this class we’ll draw diverse portraits and fill up a page with faces together in a low pressure creative practice. Capturing the personality, expression and mood of a human face can be a challenging subject to master for artists. Following tips and insights gained over years of my artwork practice, you and I will find out what it takes to capture the likeness of someone. We’ll debate the different approaches to portrait drawing, figurative Vs. stylized, and come up with a finely reasoned conclusion. But most importantly we’ll enjoy the time we set up for ourselves for drawing!
Sketching in a sketchbook is an intimate process that allows you to get to know yourself better as an artist. It’s a safe place to experiment and develop concepts without the pressure of performing well. Whether you’re looking to grow your skill or to cultivate a daily habit of drawing in your sketchbook, this class will help develop your style and find ideas for new projects.
