Intermediate Portrait Drawing
8 Week Class | This course is currently not open for registration.
Dive a little deeper into drawing portraits. This course will provide students with time, information and feedback to help develop their portrait drawing practice. Working with long poses and a variety of models, we will build on the `basics’ of portrait drawing, to create more resolved works.
Topics to be covered will include pictorial composition, drawing hands and fabrics. Instruction will consist of short lectures, demo drawings, handouts and video clips and lots of in-class drawing time. Media will include graphite, charcoal and Conte crayon.
Recommended prerequisites: Students should ideally have had at least one term of Introductory level drawing and have taken Portrait Drawing Basics (or equivalent experience).
Base Tuition: $406 + Model Fee: $100 + Material Fee: $5 = $511 Total
