This portrait class will be starting on January 6th.
During the first week, we will take a look at historic and contemporary portraiture.
How have artists placed the portrait within the picture? How much is included?
What is the view point? Is it frontal, 3/4, side view? Symmetrical or asymmetrical?
What is the gesture of the head? What is the lighting? What is the background?
These will be some consideration we will think about as we start with portraiture.
Start with composing several possibilities, do 5 quick compositional ideas.
What is a gesture? Start with the central axis. We will work from a model doing multiple quick gestures determining the central axis.
Placement of the features, classic proportional rules of thumb.
If you are interested in signing up for this class, please contact me at 378 2638.
I hope to post some class work on this blog as we draw.
