Drawing the Portrait from Life

February 21st–22nd, 9:00am – 4:00pm. Drawing the Portrait from Life
with Scott Garder

In this two-day intensive workshop, artists will learn foundational techniques for capturing a strong likeness while drawing from a live model. Day One focuses on establishing a clear linear block-in, emphasizing both the visual impression of the sitter and the underlying structure of the skull. Day Two builds on this foundation as artists bring their portraits to a finished state through three-dimensional form modeling, careful analysis of light direction, and the use of specular highlights.

Through live demonstrations and individualized, one-on-one critiques, participants will develop the skills needed to create a sensitive, volumetric portrait within a focused two-day timeframe. This workshop is ideal for artists seeking to strengthen their portrait drawing fundamentals while working directly from life.

Scott Garder is a classically trained figurative artist with a strong focus on portraiture. He is currently studying full-time at the Grand Central Atelier in Brooklyn, New York, where he continues to refine his skills through rigorous academic training.
