Most Art Portfolios require portrait drawings and paintings, as well as gesture sketches and studies. All of that is impossible without a live model. At this class the model will always be present (dressed either in regular clothes or in a modest swim suit). Students will be working on a variety of studies, from quick charcoal sketches to 4-5 day long large painting projects.
