Description
Using the classic rules of proportion you will develop the skills to draw a portrait of a person. There will be steps to follow and many techniques to assist along the way.
Our experienced tutor and artist will demonstrate techniques to “capture a likeness”.
A live model will sit for us and you will apply those techniques to observe carefully and capture proportions and a likeness. Next you will work from photographs and draw the model in various exercises, using pencil and paint. Finally you will paint a portrait in watercolour using all the techniques and new found skills.
