Portrait Sketch Drawing and Painting

In this Sketch Drawing and Painting Portrait course, we will lay the foundations to develop an efficient and fast work process based on the anatomy, structure, volumes, and chiaroscuro effects that light creates on the human head and face.

In each session, a different model will adopt the same pose during the 2-hour class.

Students will work firstly with dry techniques (pencil and charcoal) following a series of logical steps that will allow them to obtain fresh, expressive, and realistic results. It is recommended that students start with drawing techniques, and progressively move on to the use of paint, first in grisaille (shades of gray) and then using different color palettes.

It's important to note that materials are not included, but we will provide a materials list in the confirmation email.

By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the foundational skills necessary to continue their artistic journey in portraiture with confidence and proficiency.
