This workshop is an online workshop working from some of my very great models with great lighting.
The class is limited to 12 students and everyone will get a lot of attention with exercises, and critiques.
We will concentrate on learning how to draw and construct a fine expressive portrait. You will learn the simple basic proportions of the head and to develop and sharpen your eye to see the placement of the major features. You will learn some fairly easy steps in getting the proportions and structure of the head using photos of strong character models that show off the structure and planal changes of the head along with a strong light and shadow pattern to work from. We will work on how to break the head down into simple value patterns and with the use of lost and found edges make a compelling portrait. We will go over the generic structure of the individual features of the face, those being the eye, nose, mouth and ear so you get a strong understanding of these features. You will learn how to see and interpret the forms and values to get a strong likeness.
This will be a fairly focused and intense three days and you will work hard, learn a lot, indulge our humorous side and we will have a lot of fun doing it!
