About the Class
Students will be guided in design, composition, drawing and paint application using live models and photographs of family and friends as a reference. This class is suitable for all skill levels, ages 16 and older. The first class will employ a live model to explore what constitutes good photographic reference for drawing and painting, and to make studies of the structure of the head in three dimensions as preparation for subsequent classes.
