The foundation of a painted portrait is a solid understanding of rendering a likeness through drawing. In this one day workshop students will work from a live model as we explore the major forms of the head and the individual features of the face. The goal of the workshop is for each student to gain stronger control of form and value as we complete a realistic portrait sketch in one session. We will be creating heightened drawings using hard and soft pencils and white chalk on toned paper. Model fees included. There will be a 30 minute break for lunch. For a short list of materials, please visit www.montclairartmuseum.org.
