Just in case some potential students happen to run across this...

I still have openings for my Saturday afternoon studio class, and am accepting late registrations over the next week, until April 18 (third scheduled class session for the quarter). If you're an artist (or know an artist) wanting to develop/improve/polish figure drawing and portraiture skills, don't miss out on this opportunity!

Class Description - "How to Draw Real Live People" (#19 in La Grange Art League class brochure)

Learn how to portray anyone you want to, with firm technical knowledge and feedback to help you develop your style and portfolio. We'll cover basic anatomy and proportions, light/shadow rendering, creative use of color (crayon, colored pencil, pastels and oil pastels), arranging and extracting poses, conveying personality through visual details, and creating dynamic portraits using live sittings, photographs, imagination and everyday character observation.

This is an ideal intensive course for younger students just getting firmly interested in `drawing people' realistically, as well as for more-experienced artists seeking to hone their skills and focus on the finer points of getting a convincing likeness.

Bring a large (11" x 14"+) sketchbook and standard two-pocket folder, plus your own drawing pencils, colored pencils, crayons and/or pens if desired — in-classroom supplies will be provided; full/optional supplies list available in gallery.
