SUMMARY:Drawing the Portrait from Life
DESCRIPTION:February 21st–22nd\, 9:00am – 4:00pm. Drawing the Portrait from Life\nwith Scott Garder \nIn 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. \nThrough 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. \nScott 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. \nRegister here! \nhttps://wethersfieldarts.org/event/drawing-the-portrait-from-life/
