The Living Portrait (in graphite)
Instructor 
A New workshop at our Oyster Bay location
|
|
The Living Portrait workshop consists of two days of drawing from the live model with Maria Kreyn. It is designed for all skill levels.
This workshop will focus on creating both the likeness of the model and also emotional expression, bringing the portrait to life using the special beauty and simplicity of the graphite medium. Emphasis will be placed on developing expression, elegant line quality, edges, atmosphere, and internal gesture. By working from general to specific, students will learn a process of drawing that focuses on quickly laying down a large amount of information, and then honing and focusing it--like a lens--to a high finish of detail and clarity. Kreyn will offer both critiques and an in-class demonstration.
