Bring some colour into your portrait drawing. This 5-week course will make use of soft pastels as a medium to explore bringing colour into portrait drawing from life. Over the course, participants will try a few different colour strategies - Monochrome, Analogous colours, Warm/Cool and the traditional 3-colour portrait approach, among others. Soft pastels sit right at the boundary of drawing and painting (as such, this course may be a good complement to Portrait Painting). With their easy application, opaque, vivid colours and ease of blending, both dramatic and more subtle images can be developed quite quickly. The medium is equally well-suited to fast colour experimentation and more finished work. Instruction will consist of short lectures, demonstrations and extended time working with life models.
