PORTRAIT DRAWING with DAVID CAESAR
SUNDAY, APRIL 2 | 11am – 5pm
MAX. 10 | Ages 16+
$125 plus HST
Please bring your own materials.
*please note there is a minimum of 6 required to run this class.
Join artist David Caesar for this fun and exciting workshop covering the basics of drawing portraits from both life and photographs. David teaches a classical approach which incorporates high realism, with a focus on skill building. He works in the way of the old masters using keen observation and focused critique. His own work is highly detailed and masterful and his class environment encourages students to challenge themselves!
During the workshop, David will review the basic proportions of the head and face and move on to a methodology of capturing the likeness of our subject. You will start by drawing each other (bring your happy face!) and move on to working from photos for a final project.
From basic structure to final rendering, students will come away with a new understanding of the portrait drawing process and have the tools to embark on their own projects with confidence!
Feeling adventurous? Bring any medium you like – pastel, watercolour, acrylic, etc. Come prepared!
ALL LEVELS WELCOME! Suitable for Beginner and Intermediate students.
Students are asked to bring:
- sketchbook (9 x 12″ or larger)
- pencils, eraser
- small ruler
- if you have a photo of someone you would like to draw or a project you would like to share, bring it along!
