Weekly Saturday Program
10 week term. Every Saturday. Tutoring will start with the copying old master drawings to understand measurement, proportion and shadow shape. Students will progress through drawing from the plaster cast, to painting the cast, painting still life, and finally the portrait. They will practice using pencil, charcoal and oil. With pencil there will be a linear approach focusing on outline and shadow line to explain the form. With charcoal and oil paint, the focus will be on achieving a convincing sense of volume, light and atmosphere through the use of light and shadow.Program Curriculum
