LIVE ONLINE CLASS
Portrait and Figure Drawing in Charcoal with Lenin Delsol
March 23 – April 27, 2021
Tuesdays, 12 pm – 2 pm (CST)
$180
Each week we meet online for a live (not prerecorded) session using Zoom. To participate you will need good internet access and a device with a microphone and speaker.
Class description
In this class we will create portraits and figurative drawings using the simple tools of charcoal, paper, and an eraser. We will use commercially toned paper and also learn how to tone our own paper using watercolor and acrylic paint.
The class will focus on ways of handling this expressive medium, as well as anatomy, foreshortening and other principals of figure and portrait drawing.
Lessons will alternate between demonstrations using a live model, and critiques of student work. Each student will receive photographs of the model taken from various angles, to be used in homework assignments. As we examine student work, I will perform short demonstrations to illustrate the principals and concepts being discussed.
