Description
Join us at Ulna Studio for an Figure Drawing Workshop with Lettie Jane Rennenkamp.
This class will focus on portrait drawing. Over the course of this 3 hour class we will work through the elements of a portrait. We will look at how to capture the specificity of this face at this time. We’ll talk about bone structure, skin, getting the eyes in line and which angle we are working from. Be prepared to work LARGE. We are thrilled to have Jean Miller as a model for this session, a lifelong actress, now in her 70s.
You can bring any materials you’d like for class, but the instruction will focus on using charcoal and erasers. A materials list will be sent out two weeks prior to class beginning. All model fees are covered by the cost of the course.
