Painting Or Drawing The Portrait
Become more confident as a portraitist and capture the personality of your subject in your art. Students already confident in a medium other than graphite pencil (e.g. oil, acrylic, pastels, etc.) should feel free to bring them to class. Otherwise, prepare to draw with pencil and bring a 9 x12 sketch pad, a few soft pencils (anything from 6B to 9B), and, preferably, a kneaded eraser.
Rendering Flowers in Pencil, Ink, and Paint
Pick a photo of a flower(s), then draw it in pencil, followed by ink, and then paint it in acrylics or oil. This is a great way to learn and apply different techniques in a progressive exercise using different media. Photos will be provided or bring an 8×10 printed photo in color and black and white. Beginner/Intermediate. Class critiques and individual and group instruction.
Animal Portraits
Whether it’s fur or feathers, it’s fun to draw and paint animals. Learn the tricks of how to draw or paint a realistic pet portrait, including how to convey the expression in the eyes, the softness of fur or the lightness of the feathers. Student can choose pencil, acrylic or oil paint to render their portrait. Instructor will provide photos and handouts. Student provided photos are acceptable but require instructor approval. Beginners and intermediates welcome. Teens/Adults. Demonstrations, one-on-one attention and class critiques. A materials list will be provided prior to class.
Drawing For All
Students will draw with graphite pencil, learning about line, dark and light values, composition and more. We will turn the ordinary into the sublime, working from a still life (and other things) of each student’s own design. Please bring a few soft pencils (6B to 9B) and a 9 x12 sketch pad to the first class.
