Class #223: Portrait Drawing with Andrew Conklin

Session | Available

For millennia, artists have delighted in drawing the human face and head. It is infinitely challenging and compelling to capture the unique combination of large and small, fixed and mobile forms that combine to produce the sitter’s likeness.  

This drawing course introduces the essentials of proportion, line, shading and color techniques as it examines specific forms drawn from the model. Open to all levels. 

  • This class meets in our 2nd floor studio.
    $50 non-refundable model fee paid directly to the instructor.
