Learn to draw realistically - Heads
Description
This workshop will help you master the art of drawing heads, faces and different types of hair. We will look at the skull, the tendons and muscles of the face and neck to help understand what happens below the surface to make a more realistic portrait. The changes from infant to an aged adult, and how that affects the drawing.
We will be going through some exercises to help train your hand eye co-ordination, and look at how tonal values, contrast, edges and shadows all combine to give you a great result.
Lisa will provide handouts and some subjects to draw to cater for all levels, from beginner to advanced.
Participants have the opportunity to exhibit in our end of year diversARTy exhibition at Eltham Library Gallery to celebrate their achievements with friends and family.
This course is open to people aged 18 years and over.
Venue
This course is held at our Eltham centre - 739 Main Road.What to bring
