Come to this drawing class and break the myth about what is often considered the most difficult artistic genre: portraits!
Emilie will provide some technical pointers to draw the human faces. Through observation exercises, you’ll learn the basics about proportion, tone and shading. We will try different approaches, draw from observation and from imagination.
We will also learn about the structure of the head, its proportions, how to draw it in perspective, and how to shade your drawings to get a solid 3D look.
Leave the class with plenty of fun drawing exercises to start your own sketchbook and unlock your inner artist.
All skill levels welcome!
