This day will set you on your way to sketching and painting faces with confidence. Artists of all levels of experience will find useful, basic, and essential instruction of the construction of the head. With these indispensable notes, you will begin to enjoy painting portraits without hesitation.
The lessons and demonstrations will begin with focused attention on each individual feature of the face. Simple diagrams will
become your maps to understanding shape, construction, proportion, and uniqueness of the eye, the nose, the mouth, and the ear.
The fundamental understanding of the head begins with a simplified explanation of the skull’s dimensions, proportions, and
subsequent assembly of the earlier studied individual features into and onto the head.
A suggested materials list and a model photo will be provided for you so that we may paint a full color portrait at the end of the day. The “mapping” of the head in the morning lessons will give you a clear foundation to create this great face to completion.
