“Drawing the Portrait”
April 28 — May 2
9:00 am to 4:00 pm each day
“Self Portrait” by Tori Cole
In this 5-day workshop, we will work with one model to explore block in, model mapping, form understanding, and rendering. Days 1 and 2 will focus on block in and setting up your drawing for rendering. Day 3 will be all about form and how to start approaching rendering with a sculptural 3D mindset. Days 4 and 5 will be all about rendering and how to achieve the results you want whether you’re working on white paper or toned paper.
Registration is $ 275.

In 2015 she moved to Texas to pursue her art education full time and in the summer 2020 she moved to Brooklyn to attend Grand Central Atelier where she graduated the 4 year program. A passion for art history has led her to draw on a wide range of artists from Johannes Vermeer to Bertha Wegmann, and as far back as the artists of the Northern Renaissance.
