Head Drawing
Class | This class is completed
Stressing proper placement of features and strict value control, this class will work on executing an accurate portrait from the live model. The focus will be placed on proper planning out of the head, as well as spacing and placing the features using a rhythmical lay-in system called the “Abstraction.” Instructor demonstrations and critiques are standard. Great for students of all levels.
- Watts Atelier carries the supplies you will need for class! Students may purchase supplies before class by completing a purchase form and giving it to their instructor.
- Supplies listed below.
- Charcoal pencils (get quite a few to start with) Conte1710: B (gold with black shaft)
- Single-edged razor blades (1 box)
- Sanding pad (small wood handle with sheets of sandpaper on it.)
- Kneaded eraser
- Pad of 18"x24" SMOOTH Newsprint (recommended brands: Pro-Art)
- Clip board (standard board that will hold an 18"x24" pad.)
- Note: Do not leave Newsprint in warm places or where the sun will hit it (i.e. car, window, etc.) It will warp and wrinkle! Also, you'll want to get a small cigar sized box for supplies to be transported in.
