What makes a smile turn into a smirk? Understanding how the muscles of the corners of the mouth, the lids of the eyes, the nostrils of the nose move together to make facial expressions enables an artist not only to capture the subtleties of a likeness in a portrait but also to create images that express convincing emotions. Sessions will include drawing from the model, the study of human and animal skulls, working with personally derived photographic material and creating images from observation, information and imagination.
NOTE: Please bring drawing materials of your choice to the first session.
