Course Description

Portrait life drawing with artist guidance is our signature workshop for those who enjoy the practise of drawing from life! Experience portrait drawing with life observation from a portrait model, and quickly capture the prominent facial features of a person, find light, shadow, middle tones and learn with tips and guidance from our art instructor during the session.

On selected Thursdays, 7:30pm to 10:00pm at VAC Studio, attend this Portrait life drawing workshop and receive professional guidance from an artist. This workshop is one session and is suitable for anybody with an interest in life portrait drawing and sketching. This is great for even beginners with no previous experience, just to have a go and experience of rendering a portrait with a life view of a model. Those with experience in portrait drawing, painting or drawing may find this workshop helpful and may come regularly to hone the practise of Portrait drawing and sketching. You may feel free to explore on your own with your own style of drawing as well, and ask the teacher any questions on your work! By the end of the session, you’ll have completed your own Portrait drawing work and acquire an understanding of portraiture through practise and experience. Portrait life drawing is especially helpful to those who want to learn or begin their portrait oil painting practise.

So join us in this workshop! Take this opportunity to try portrait drawing and sketching if you have always wanted to put your skills to the test! And bring home your completed portrait drawing works.

真人肖像写生是造型能力训练的基础课程、要想会画人物画,无论人物油画、水彩人物画、素描人物,都必须经过对真人模特写生绘画的过程。面对动态的真人模特首先要观察分析对象,抓住人物特点,归纳出对象头部繁杂的结构形态,以几何形概括出模特的形象特征最后下笔描绘头像。导师会讲解人体头部的解刨,认识和熟悉头骨及面部肌肉在不同角度下的形态。导师会示范不同角度的头像结构,根据不同学生的绘画程度,导师加以指点。导师会示范如何起稿、铺设调子、调整画面整体关系等等、最后学生可以用碳条、铅笔、水彩、完成作品。如果你是个初学者,你也可以敢敢的来尝试肖像画。经过老师的指点你都会画出一张生动的肖像画作品。
