In this five-week portrait drawing course we will learn from many fundamental exercises and complete a finished artwork. Over the first two classes, we will review the steps that the worlds greatest artists and illustrators have used to master the art of drawing the head and face. Over the last three classes we will put that knowledge to use in one life-size portrait on paper from a high-resolution photo reference. This course is perfect for anyone looking to improve their abilities not only in graphite and charcoal, but as well as oil, acrylic, pastel and watercolour, as drawing is the foundation of portrait painting. Steve Chmilar is one of Canada’s foremost New Contemporary painters. Since his debut show at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria in 2011, he has painted full-time by selling his work internationally to private collectors. In 2012, he won best in show at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit (Canada’s largest juried exhibition) and Prix De La Meilleure Oeuvre (Prize for Best Work) Mtl en Arts in Montreal. Please view Steve’s bio in the instructors tab for more information. Please note: We maintain small class sizes to ensure a personalized and welcoming environment. Each student will have their own table to create on in a large, well lit 900 sq ft studio with lots natural light studio.
