About this Event
Who hasn’t come across a drawing manual full of theories on how to draw a nose, or techniques for sketching eyes and ovals starting from triangles and crossed lines? 🥸
If those rigid schemes have only left you confused and haven’t led to satisfying results... 👉 this workshop is for you.
Here, we set aside prepackaged theories and return to the essence:
The ability to truly observe a face, and the practical tools to translate it effectively into an authentic, realistic portrait.
Alessia Sinopoli will guide you step by step to realistic portraiture – all the way through from breaking down the rules to preservation and digitization of your portrait!
For this special workshop, we offer four potential Sundays for you to choose from 🤍 Please RSVP via email to [email protected] indicating your availability:
