H188 - Faces and Figures


$ 140  

 



Ever wanted to use your own drawings and art in your mixed media creations rather than rely on magazines and books? Come learn the mystery of drawing and painting adults and children using easy methods and formulas that will take your art to a new level. In this class we will look at short cuts in crafting the human figure, the proportions unique to children and adults and how to overcome the fear of drawing hands and feet. We will work with both pencil, paint and ink and you will leave with a handbook and finished creations.

Supply list:

Selection of craft paint (i.e. Ceramacoat, Americana, Folk Art); include a black, light ivory, medium blue, golden yellow, soft red (Tompte, Adobe Red), burnt umber, raw sienna, AC Flesh and Fleshtone). I will have a wide selection on hand, so don't feel like you have to buy a lot of color.
