Description

In this class, artists will focus on portraiture and figures. Although we will review anatomy and proportion, artists are encouraged to explore meaningful ways to express themselves that can deviate from a realistic style. Artists can work in watercolor, gouache, acrylic, or oil. Demonstrations in the various media will be included too. 

Tech Requirements: Wifi, a computer or other device with a built in camera, and a Zoom account. Students will receive an email with instructions prior to the first class.


Materials: Please bring paints or drawing materials of choice.
