Figure Drawing: Head & Face

Attention all experienced & budding artists! You are invited to draw the human figure from a live model with a focus on the head & face. The session will be informal, but an experienced drawing teacher will be on hand to orient beginners during the first hour, then answer questions, or provide suggestions at your request during the second hour. We will divide the time so that after a quick warm-up, people will have equal time periods to do one profile, one frontal view, and one 3/4 view of the head and shoulders.

Please bring your own drawing supplies. This might include a sketchbook, drawing paper, drawing board and clips, easel, drawing pencil, charcoal or charcoal pencil, Conte crayons, chalk pastels, or a vinyl eraser. No paint or watercolors allowed.

Seating is limited and registration is required.
