Join Grand Central Atelier graduate Allison parker (http://www.krop.com/allisonparker/) for this three-part Portrait Drawing Intensive.

In this three-session portrait drawing intensive, students will study the basic anatomy of the skull in order to create a more three-dimensional likeness of the model. Concepts will include basic composition and gesture to set up the portrait, identifying bony landmarks of the skull, creating a ‘block-in’ or detailed outline, and using careful shading to suggest the unique forms of the portrait. Students will learn to trouble-shoot their work using basic anatomy and perspective concepts, visual comparisons, and measuring. Students are encouraged to work in graphite and white chalk on toned paper.

Day 1- Anatomy of the face, looking for composition and gesture, demo of beginning the block-in. Sunday -February 14th 12-4 pm

Day 2- Refining the block-in to create a likeness and three-dimensional outline. Sunday -February 21st 12-4 pm

Day 3- Identifying a light effect, shading demo, refining the drawing using shades and highlights. Sunday -February 28th 12-4 pm
