Portrait Drawing

A step-by-step approach in fundamental portrait drawing methods. I will guide students on choosing materials, the recognition of a visual image, getting the right proportions and perspective, and how to design strong compositions. Using dark pencil, white pencil, and toned paper students begin to understand what creates a successful portrait - one that captures a person’s spirit- expression, likeness, personality, and mood. Lots of demonstrations, presentations, and individual feedback.

This class is for:

Portrait Painting

Painting a portrait may seem daunting but I will walk students through a step-by-step approach in the fundamental principles of portrait painting from photos: drawing, measurements and proportion, value, temperature, background and so much more. Students will learn to simplify the process as they paint portraits with personality through confident brushwork, good colour choices and strong composition. I will give students the techniques and the confidence to enjoy painting portraits that capture the essence of the character. Lots of demonstrations, and individual feedback. This workshop is best suited to students with some drawing skills who understand colour mixing.

So why not combine them together? This is a safe place for exploring your thoughts and emotions. The session will begin with 10-15 minutes of guided meditation and breath work to get into heart space for creativity, joy, and healing. After that, participants will be provided with tools to express emotions with acrylic paints.
