Drawing Class with Jude Tolar, PSA, IAPS/MC
Two Saturday afternoons
October 12 & November 9, 2019, 12:30-3:30 pm
A drawing class in which we’ll learn to draw faces. The focus is on drawing the facial form, not necessarily a portrait.
We’ll work from life, with a live model. The first session will use graphite on white drawing paper. The second session will use Conte crayon on Canson Mi-Tientes paper.
