About this class
Likeness is not a talent, it is a sequence. We block in the skull before we touch an eye, place the features by measurement rather than guesswork, then model the form with light so the face turns in space.
Across four live sessions you will draw from photographs and from each other, with feedback on your work in the room every week.
What to bring
