Gain a sense of confidence when attempting a portrait. In this class, you will learn the fundamentals of developing a strong likeness. Achieving a likeness involves head structure, placement of features and observation of light and shadow. You will learn to see with greater understanding and how to translate the human face you see into a drawing. We will be working from photographs, drawings, live models, and master works.

What you will learn:
1. The ability to get a strong likeness every time
2. The observation and understanding of head structure.
3. Learning to see the direction of light in terms of light and shadow patterns
4. Observing complexion as a relationship of skin color, hair color and eye color
5. Seeing the three qualities of light: light, transition and shadow

Please note: Class will not meet on Monday, January 19 and Monday, February 16 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. and Presidents' Days.
