Portraiture Classes
Fibre tip pen portrait
This course is suitable for beginners or more experienced artists who would like to revisit or develop this appealing area of artistic expression.
Learn the basic skills of line and tone in order to achieve a realistic depiction of the face and its characteristics.
Students are introduced to a conventional pencil approach then go onto explore other media.
Everyone can expect to gain a basic understanding of line and tone, proportions and characteristics of the face, and produce at least one developed and thoughtful portrait in a selected medium, such as - pencil, pen, ink, pastel, or paint etc.
Faithfully reproducing a likeness is a challenge for the beginner - however I like to encourage different styles of expression as we explore a variety of media on this popular subject.
COURSE OPTIONS
1 day workshops $50 pp
2 day workshop $80pp
(both 1 and 2 day courses include some materials and morning & afternoon teas.)
A comprehensive 6 week course (one session a week) $100 per person
