Drawing & Painting–Spring Short Session
April 28 – May 3, 2024 (4 studio days)

Observation and Invention: The Portrait
Drawing the model from life will be our inspiration for exploring solutions aimed at synthesizing observation and imagination in the portrait. Using graphite, charcoal, or ink pen/ink wash, students will leave the workshop with a number of portrait drawings ranging from the “realistic” to the idealized and fantastical. We’ll have demonstrations, lots of drawing time, and various individual and collaborative exercises aimed at challenging your understanding of the human face. All levels.
