Portrait Drawing Foundations Class: Exploring the Feminine Form
2.5 hours
1 to 15 guests
$79
(PayPal Pay in 4 available)
What you'll do
Join us for a creative portrait drawing workshop where you will explore the elegant simplification of portraiture through side-view and three-quarter-view studies. Guided by your instructor, you will learn to construct the head using foundational construction lines before gradually refining your work into a stylised final rendering.Next, you will put these skills into practice as you create your own portrait using a unique side-view reference image provided for you. If you are new to portrait drawing, you are welcome to follow along with the same reference your instructor is using for added support. For those with more experience who prefer to work independently, additional unique references will also be available.Whether you are experimenting with portraiture for the first time or expanding your drawing abilities, you will leave with a thoughtful and expressive artwork created with quality materials and guided instruction.As one of Australia’s leading art and craft retailers, Eckersley’s proudly supports a vibrant community of artists, hobbyists, and makers. Whether you are drawing a portrait for the first time or looking to refine your skills, this workshop offers a welcoming and supportive environment to explore your artistic side.
