Each class will start with some information on pastel painting including: how to make different marks: linear or side strokes; ways to blend colors on the paper; and underpainting techniques. Pastels are very versatile and it is easy to create simple or complex paintings. We will concentrate on landscape in this class.<br /><br /><b>What to bring:</b> Sennilier Half-Stick Soft Pastels set of 40 (or more) assorted half-sticks, Prismacolor NuPastel set of 12, Colourfix Pastel Paper (warm tone pack 9” X 12”, or 10 sheets of white), painting board (to tape drawing paper to), paper towels or rags, paper stumps and an old stiff artist paintbrush (1" wide) for blending, Masking tape 3/4” wide.

In this class you will start with drawing a real skull, and work you way up to the planes of the face. You’ll practice them in portrait, profile, and 3/4 view. Then we will add the skin, practice types of shading and learn to determine where the light is coming from and how that affects highlights and shadows. Then on to a new part of the face each week: eyes, nose, lips, ears, and hair. Anyone can learn to draw the human head with the tools I will teach you. Learn how the parts of the head reflect each other, and understand how to see faces in a brand new way.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;" /><b style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></b></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(39, 37, 52); color: #272534; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXZ-AlSA9aNtH66FVcy8r6lxWKc-95fMyNYdovr3630h2e3u1iKRg7-2qaVcHal7FD0FcMlV32EIXvYXSSQFKtBP8cSM3zQqUmytysXglwQ3FYilsIUD7ShhLteO5WTGqyrTJOEyQw4tEwdEeTnBIGGXhV-BgVdy0W1d2LYVzjAk9faFpVvmonqT5U" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1476" data-original-width="1107" height="501" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXZ-AlSA9aNtH66FVcy8r6lxWKc-95fMyNYdovr3630h2e3u1iKRg7-2qaVcHal7FD0FcMlV32EIXvYXSSQFKtBP8cSM3zQqUmytysXglwQ3FYilsIUD7ShhLteO5WTGqyrTJOEyQw4tEwdEeTnBIGGXhV-BgVdy0W1d2LYVzjAk9faFpVvmonqT5U=w376-h501" width="376" /></a></div><b style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;">What to bring:</b><span face=""Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-size: medium;"> A set of drawing pencils (H's & B's), a ruler, 9” x 12” Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Pad, kneaded eraser, white plastic eraser, blending stumps, a black Sharpie pen.

In this class you will start with drawing a real skull, and work you way up to the planes of the face. You’ll practice them in portrait, profile, and 3/4 view. Then we will add the skin, practice types of shading and learn to determine where the light is coming from and how that affects highlights and shadows. Then on to each part of the face: eyes, nose, lips, ears, and hair. Anyone can learn to draw the human head with the tools I will teach you. Learn how the parts of the head reflect each other, and understand how to see faces in a brand new way.<br /><b>What to bring:</b> A set of drawing pencils (soft and hard), a ruler, 9” x 12” Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Pad, kneaded eraser, white plastic eraser, blending stumps, a black Sharpie pen.

HAVE YOU wondered where you go wrong when you attempt to draw a face or a portrait? In this class you will start by drawing a real skull, and then the planes of the face. We will add the skin, practice types of shading and learn to determine where the light is coming from and how that affects highlights and shadows. Then on to each part of the face: eyes, nose, lips, ears, and hair. You’ll practice faces in portrait, profile, and 3/4 view. Anyone can learn to draw the human head with the tools I will teach you. Learn how the parts of the head reflect each other, and understand how to see faces in a brand new way.<br />
<br />
What to bring: A set of 12 or 24 drawing pencils (soft and hard), a battery operated pencil sharpener, a ruler, 9” x 12” Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Pad, kneaded eraser, white plastic eraser, blending stumps, a black fine line felt tip pen. Minimum class size is 3. Class size limited to 7.<br />

I started this drawing in January, 2018, and it it took me about 50 hours to complete. As usual, I start by drawing in basic details of the animal's parts, and features, then I slowly erase all the graphite pencil as I add my colored pencil. This image shows the very start of the drawing.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">50 hours later, I was finally finished. The size is 11 x 14 inches and I drew it on Canson Mi-Tientes paper, with about 60 colors, all types of professional colored pencils, like Luminance, Prismacolor, Caran D'Ache.</span></div>

Then on to each part of the face: eyes, nose, lips, ears, and hair. Anyone can learn to draw the human head with the tools I will teach you. Learn how the parts of the head reflect each other, and understand how to see faces in a brand new way.</div>

Being a hanging member, I have art at the Seacoast Artist Association in Exeter NH at all times, some framed and hanging, some Giclée Prints in the bins and a few originals in the bins.<br />
<br />
Because it's almost Christmas, I have created some tiny art, 2", 4", 6", that is painted in acrylics on mini canvases, with magnets attached. If you can't find them, ask the gallery sitter to point them out to you. Here are a few of them hanging on my refrigerator!<br />
<br />
I also have some free Christmas postcards for you, flyers about my upcoming art classes, and a poster in the window. You can also check out upcoming classes on their website here: http://seacoastartist.org/events/<br />
<br />
Let me know if you have any questions!</div>
