If you can draw a portrait you can draw anything… The techniques you learn in this class have been proven to produce accurate results time and time again. You will learn to break down the human head by using simple proportions and structure. We will go over values, skin tones, brush control and basic composition. We will draw and paint from a human skull, plaster busts, photos, and painting from the old masters. Every class will have an instructor demo and one on one attention.
