How to Paint Facial Anatomy for Teens

The human face is an exciting study but many students are intimidated by it. In this class, students will put what they have previously learnt through drawing exercises into realizing portraits. This is a great class for observational skills as students create drawings from their own chosen subject matter (photos and pictures of loved ones or faces they admire) which will give their work a more personal feel.

Students will study compositions & poses, 3/4 views and non-traditional angles, and how to use perspective and mid-points to give subjects a realistic feel. Class will start with preliminary drawing sketches to understand and get to know subjects before moving on to painting a realized facial portrait. At the end of the session, the instructor will offer valuable critique to help inspire further artistic endeavors. Return students are welcome in this class to hone skills. This class is also suitable for those working on a portfolio who want to build up a good body of work.
