Portrait Drawing Classes
The next available course commences January 5th, 2019 for 6 consecutive Saturdays mornings from 10.30am to 1pm in the historic United Arts Club, 3 Upper Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin 2.
If mid-week evenings suit you better, the next course commences in the ARTmines Studio in Rathmines beside the refurbished Stella cinema on Wednesday from 7pm to 9.30pm.
Private one-to-one lessons are also available during the day and some evenings.
The aim of the course is to give participants at all levels of ability, the methods and techniques to create a lifelike portrait including the theory and practice to add depth, volume, atmosphere and life to portrait drawings. You will learn how to render realistic hair and create complex textures like skin with a layering approach, tonal value relationships, drawing details and working with different kinds of contrast to achieve a balanced visual interest. Participants will draw from a detailed photograph during the classes and the skills learned can be used in the future for drawing any subject matter.
You will take away your finished portrait, fully framed and ready for hanging. If you wish, you can include this or other work in our annual Art Exhibition. You will have access to our private Facebook group where you can upload your work, keep in touch will fellow graduates and receive ongoing support.
