3A01-B Friday Night Workshops – Friday Night Drawing: Drawing the Portrait – Structure and Form

-Adult- | Available

Here’s your chance to unwind from the week, enjoy an adult libation or two and settle in to create with a range of art options. No experience necessary and all levels welcome. And, all materials provided. It’s a fun time – make it a date night with your partner or BFF. Or fly solo and make new BFFs! 1 complimentary bar beverage per participant plus cash bar (19+) or unlimited soft drinks included. Please note: We are unable to provide refunds/credits/transfers for these courses. 
Explore the art of portrait drawing in this relaxed and inspiring evening workshop – perfect for beginner to intermediate artists. We’ll kick things off with a visual presentation featuring standout examples plucked from both art history and contemporary portraiture, highlighting what makes a composition truly successful. Then, through guided exercises designed to sharpen your skills, you’ll create portrait studies from a live costumed model. Along the way, you’ll learn how to improve proportion, expression and technique while developing your own artistic voice.
Course Fee: $55 + HST  (Price includes model fee). Friday.
