Beginning Portrait Class at Palos Verdes Art Center, South Bay 2025
Get introduced to developing a head for portraits on paper and canvas using charcoal. Learn the fundamental anatomy of the head, neck and shoulders. We will introduce ways to structure the head by examining proportional rules, facial planes, and the major “landmarks” of the head. If you have never (or rarely) approached drawing or painting portraits, this class will be a good starting point in learning this fascinating skill. With relaxed, yet thorough instruction, this will be a good knowledge builder in learning the head before attempting to work with a live sitter.
