Want to draw? Like puzzles? Find humans (and their faces) interesting?

Great! Take this class!

Face is a studio drawing class that will have you making some super-satisfying representational art within three sessions. We will learn to draw portraits by treating the face like a puzzle. We will use some loosey-goosey measuring techniques, some basic rules of thumb, some helpful tips and the power of our skills of focused observation to solve the puzzle.

While decoding the face, you will gain techniques that you can apply to whatever observation-based drawing you wish to do in the future. We will be using pencil and charcoal and drawing large.

Come prepared to get mildly messy and to have a focused, but fun time digging into the rugged landscape of the FACE.

No experience necessary!
