Extended Portrait Drawing Workshop at Garden Spot Village Community

Description

There are many components that make up an accurate likeness in portraiture. More abstract concepts and a basic anatomical understanding of the head are always helpful tools to understanding what you’re really looking for in your portrait drawing. This extended workshop demonstrates the function behind vocabulary like: proportions, structure, planes of the head, gesture, rhythm, value, and their respective relationships that come together in your drawing to create likeness. A small variety of drawing media will be explored as we discuss surfaces, techniques, and capabilities of various media. Expect to gain confidence in portrait drawing materials and methods and accuracy in your portrait drawings.

The class will meet at Garden Spot Village Community Campus located at 433 S Kinzer Ave, New Holland, PA 17557. Information about class check-in procedures and location on Garden Spot Village’s campus will be sent after registration.

Notes: This is a seated two-hour class. Wearing a smock or older clothing may be helpful when working with charcoal. Please bring a notebook for taking notes.
