Portrait Drawing from a Photograph

  • THE FORGE NASHVILLE 217 Willow Street Nashville, TN, 37210 United States (map)
Portrait Drawing from A Photograph
$95.00

Bring a photo of someone whom you would like to draw. We will loosely sketch by looking at the larger shapes and values, directional energy, and accurate placement of details, until a realistic portrait begins to emerge. Viewing the image upside down will assist in seeing contrast and angles as we use mark making and our eraser to build a three dimensional looking face upon two dimensional paper. Participants will leave with increased confidence in their ability to represent what they see in pencil, and a recognizable drawing of their chosen image.
