Focus On The Features – Master Copies – ONLINE

Course Overview:

Strengthen your skills, improve your focus, and explore new techniques by challenging yourself to draw and/or paint from the masters. Discover their economy of line and vocabulary of form by absorbing their tips and tricks into your own work. Each week we will draw and/or paint from carefully selected high-quality drawings and/or paintings by master artists (past and present). We will focus on how to construct figures and portraits, with special weekly attention given to each of the five main features: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and neck. Beginners are encouraged to work in pencil, charcoal, and pan pastel, while those with more experience may work in other mediums, such as watercolor, acrylics, or oils. All levels are welcome, as instruction and demonstrations are given on an individual and group basis.

Course Materials:

MATERIALS: Any mark-making materials you have at your home studio: including graphite (mechanical or wood pencils), charcoal (vine, willow, or wood-encased), pen & ink, colored pencils, erasers, ruler, sketch pad or loose sheets of paper (white, cream, or toned). Only buy what you need; these are suggestions. Let’s draw or paint the model using your current art supplies and see how to get the most out of whatever you have.
