This one-day drawing workshop allows students to dedicate 4 hours of working time on a portrait of their choosing. You may be choosing to draw a self-portrait, a photo of a family member, a friend, or even just a random reference photo you have found of someone you want to draw to gain more practice. The purpose of this workshop is to have hands-on guidance, from instructor Ashley Laren, to aid you in every step of the portrait drawing process while also building your confidence in drawing people. You will receive support with your drawings proportions, tonal value for shading, as well as proper techniques on capturing the essence of the person you are drawing whether that be hair, facial expressions, clothing, and the like. Students are asked to come to the class with some prior knowledge of portraiture and human proportions, but they will also have access to guides and instruction from the teacher to help with proportions to set you in the right direction as you are drawing. If you have previously been enrolled in a portrait drawing course taught at Forming Studios, this would be a great way to build on your practice, but previous enrollment in said class is not required for participation.
Join this one-day workshop to advance your knowledge and proficiency on drawing portraits with expert guidance in a supportive learning environment. By the end of the day, you will have a completed portrait of the reference of your choosing.
