This course is for those who wish to gain a stronger understanding of the human head and facial features. We will be focusing on the portrait, working from a life model. We will use a step-by-step classical approach, looking closely at proportions, structure and anatomy. We will learn to simplify complex forms into basic and then into more refined planes, learning how to capture the likeness of a person.
