Weekend Workshop | Portrait in Pencil Workshop with RA Friedman
Advance registration is required.
Using inexpensive materials, this hands-on workshop will introduce the concepts and methods needed to create a strong sense of dimension and likeness in your portrait drawings. Explore the proportions and planes of the head, neck, and shoulders. Learn how to create a structural foundation and how to easily manage anatomy by breaking down forms into simple geometric shapes. Instruction will address different strategies for creating a finished tonal portrait, as well as tips and tricks that will help you draw like a pro! Note: Tuition includes a $10 models fee.
