D301: Developing Figure and Portrait Drawing

Life Drawing, Portraiture, **NEW for Academic Year 2026-2027**

Take your life drawing and portraiture skills further in this supportive and relaxed class. Working from a variety of models and poses, you will build confidence in drawing both the human figure and the head, while developing a deeper understanding of proportion, tone, anatomy, observation, composition, and achieving a likeness. Through guided exercises, demonstrations, and individual tuition, you will refine your use of drawing materials and learn effective approaches to tackling different features, poses, and expressive challenges. This rewarding class is ideal for students who have completed an introductory life drawing or portraiture class and wish to continue developing their observational and drawing skills.

Fee includes cost of professional models. Students are responsible for purchasing their own materials.
