Portrait Drawing – Continuous Tone and linear Line Technique – Adults 15 +

November 7, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

$30 + 5 Materials Cost

This class of 1 day, 3-hours. You will learn how to create a portrait, which could make a great gift. You will be using a photo that you will learn to measure and then calculate your measurements so that you can place your portrait aspects, eyes, nose, mouth, etc. You will need to bring 2 black and white printed photos size 8.5” x11” of the portrait subject. They should be full frontal and symmetrical and cropped to focus on the face. These printed portraits will be used as reference and allow you to see the light and dark values in your photo/composition. An iPad, Phone camera or digital camera can be used to take these images. One photo will be cut down the middle and the second as a backup. You will practice shading/continuous tone and values, while using several drawing pencils and other tools. This technique will help you create depth in your drawings and to apply the lighting to create light to dark values. You will also be introduced to and practice the use of lines to create textures and movement, which can be used in your final drawing. *Note If you do not finish the portrait, you can finish at your own convenience with the learned techniques, or you can also continue to work on your artwork at any of the Open Art nights. Please contact Vandy Leigh at Creative Community Space and inquire about Open Arts nights, where artist will be there to help you with any technique.
