ONE DAY PORTRAIT SKETCH WORKSHOP

master study sketches & short pose sketch- Bridget Grady

This one day workshop will be an opportunity to develop your portrait sketching skills. Students will learn a simple method of taking the portrait from a flattened description to a more life like form.

The morning session will have you working from old masters drawings as an initial reference for the study and practice of facial forms,optical measuring techniques, and shape relationships. The afternoon session will take the knowledge gained from the morning session and apply it to the live model. Previous drawing experience is helpful but serious beginners will gain valuable foundation skills and exercises to assist their development.
