Explore the fantastic potential of mark-making to create in depth portraits describing expressive physicality and character. We will be going into serious detail with layering to create tone and surface texture- building drawings from the inside out. There will be some anatomy and investigation of structure – all the components Da Vinci would have employed to build his drawings- plus we will be working in graphite and conte to recreate the sensitivity of his work.
Drawing from the model with plenty of demonstrations and one to one tuition, this is a great chance to build on your portrait knowledge with Dolph- so much to learn!

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.

12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
