Portrait Drawing Demo

Here are a few photos from my portrait drawing demo at my school opening!

Talking about Form and Cast shadows

The importance of looking at your work in a mirror, also good for checking out how good you look ;) There is a story there for sure....

How our eyes fool us all the time with this optical illusion 

And the magic bowl for warding of aliens and showing form light and highlights

So shiny!

The model may need a break but I keep going, or sometimes it's time to take over and do it all, model, draw, and fly the airplane home

Using mats with holes in them to isolate value and compare them. Light on the chin compared to forehead, which is lighter??

How the placement of the ear relates to the tilt of the head. Or what is this thing on my head, it was not there this morning?

Check out these stylish shoes from the good people at Industry of All Nations

Wrapping it all up and signing up the masses!

Figure drawing classes

It's hard to believe it's already February! Time is flying by :) I'm excited about the current painting I'm working on and hope to share it with you soon.

I have two upcoming figure drawing classes.

I've decided to shake things up a little and move my Long Pose Figure Drawing Class to a Saturday afternoon starting February 22nd! I've also added one more session to the class making it a 5 week class. I love teaching this class as it fills a void in Victoria for traditional figure drawing. By having a number of session to work on your drawing, you get a chance to really delve into the drawing and the beauty of the human form.

I also have a figure drawing Block-In Class starting Thursday evening March 6th. The block-in is a very important step in drawing well, it's the foundation and core that everything is built upon. If it's built well, then it's easier to bring the drawing to life by modeling the light as it plays across the shapes and forms. By working on a new block-in each week we get better at seeing the big shapes and proportions. The more we do the better we get.
