(ENDED) Portrait Drawing Sessions – Summer 2019

Description

Portrait Drawing Learning Targets

The purpose of the Portrait Drawing sessions is to learn the proportions of human faces, the methods of constructing a portrait, and when it’s appropriate to make changes to those proportions and methods. Each session will focus on a specific skill set and desired outcome, ranging from realistic to fantastic. These classes are OPEN TO ALL AGES. You’re never to young or old to start learning about art.
