105-Realistic Portrait Drawing and Painting
In Person | Available
Join artist Timothy Jahn for a nine week journey into realistic portraiture. Perfect for adults eager to deepen their artistic skills, this class offers hands on experience in drawing and in painting with oils or charcoal. Students will complete two portrait pieces from life and will receive personalized and constructive feedback throughout the process. You will develop core skills such as likeness, color mixing, value, and edge control, building a strong foundation that will support all your future art projects.
The Center will provide the paints for everyone to use during class, students will need to purchase their own brushes and any additional materials they plan to use. A list of paint colors is also included in the materials list for anyone who wants to have their own set for practice outside the Center.
Let us explore, learn, and grow together in a positive and encouraging environment.
NOTE: There will be no class on 1/19 and 2/16.
To help create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, we ask students to review and follow The Center's Policies and Procedures available on our website. Students who cannot comply with these guidelines may be asked to leave class, and refunds will not be issued in these cases.
