Tuition: $375+ $50 model fee ($425)
Level: All Levels

This workshop will focus on learning the basic proportions and structure of the head. Beginners will be drawing and intermediate to advanced will be working in color. We will talk about learning how to develop your hand and eye to make good judgements in constructing a head and also go through the structure of an individual eye, nose mouth and ear. We will talk about simplifying the color relationships and getting the shadow patterns right from the model we are working from. The skills, and discipline that you will learn will give you the confidence that you will be able to apply to all other subject matter. A great portrait is usually a well structured, expressive work of art; full of character, volume and good design. We will talk as much about creating a work of art as making a good portrait. We will also talk about the process of learning to see, not to copy, but how to interpret. Mueller Ned 1.jpg

Good design is related to good drawing, and to me good drawing enhances good judgment and good taste; knowing what to put in, as well as what to leave out. Drawing and painting is the process of getting the simple things right first and with experience the rest with a little care usually takes care of itself. I encourage the students to loosen up, make mistakes, enjoy the process, have some fun and work hard. You will gain a lot of confidence that will translate into your other work.

This class is open to all levels and each student will get a lot of attention at their own individual level. There will be several instructor demos during the workshop.
