This three-day workshop will be focused on drawing the portrait. Students will learn to identify and depict key forms related to the structure and anatomy of the head and upper body as they learn to achieve a likeness of their subject.

Techniques of sighting, drawing, and shading in the context of the portrait will be discussed and explored. In addition to drawing from a live model and other subjects, class will consist of demonstrations, group and individual critiques, practice exercises, and brief lectures.

Students of all skill level are welcome, from those who are new to the portrait to those who would like to refine existing portrait drawing skills.
