Join me in drawing an infant figure (baby) in three classes. We will meet three times: once to sketch the face from the front, once to render their faces in profile, and in the last class we will learn to sketch the whole body.

We will use traditional proportions to guide us, but also discuss how these proportions may be adapted to include the beautiful variability of the human face. We will briefly discuss the work of da Vinci, Cassatt, and contemporary artists for inspiration. Students are encouraged, but not required, to "finish" the sketches we begin in class! Students can expect warm, responsive, and honest critique that points to both strengths and challenges in their work. Please be prepared to share your work in class, we learn so much from one another!
