Draw Portraits from a Model

This portrait class is ideal for advanced students who want to apply and deepen their foundational knowledge. Each week features a different model, which you will independently draw in both long and short poses. At our art school, we believe that many short drawings will effectively help you achieve your goal of drawing better portraits! The instructor will provide you with assignments and corrections on transparent paper and will be present at all times to support you with your individual challenges.

Note: If you are already very advanced, you are welcome to paint in this class.
