A basic knowledge and ability of drawing is required. This class accommodates those who are entering the class with a range of abilities. I can push those with more experience and start students slowly who have less experience.

This adult class is also open to students ages 16+ looking for advanced classes.

Creating a portrait can be done through many approaches. In this class students will learn how to manipulate and control a condensed range of values to set a particular tone. Drama, intrigue, serene, these can be apart of a portrait when the elements are able to deliver a particular tone. Students will learn how to break down the value structure as it applies to their work and what they observe, see and understand how the light hits the form, and learn to separate light and shadow in order to achieve the illusion of a three dimensional structure.
