The primary focus of the first 6 weeks will be to obtain a good likeness by applying classical techniques of blocking in, measuring proportions, drawing contours, massing and finally, creating form through modeling. This course is the first part of two. In the second part of the course, students will work from the same model and pose to make a finished oil painting of the drawing created in the first phase. Model fees are included in the tuition. |
