Description:
Does the thought of drawing faces terrify you? Do you want to do a portrait of a relative but are not sure how to begin? Anyone can draw the face and this workshop is designed to give you the knowledge and strategies to do just that.
In this Intensive 1-day workshop, Julia will guide you through drawing some basics of the human skull, individual facial features and their placement, and finally you will copy a master drawing while utilizing some of my favorite strategies for seeing and then correcting mistakes! We will be working in charcoal as well as pencil on paper.
Julia Carpenter has drawn and painted the human head for 20 years and has been teaching drawing and painting to all ages for 15 years. She holds a Master’s Degree in Painting from Montana State University, Bozeman. She has taught for Seattle Parks and Recreation, Daniel Smith, and currently teaches at the Art Institute of Seattle and Kirkland Arts Center.
