Class 01. Adventures in Drawing: Exploring Portraiture with Jean Krumbein | Athenaeum Music & Arts Library: School of the Arts | La Jolla Art Studio

About the Event

In this class the face is the focus. Using different techniques and mediums, we will find fun ways to approach an often-daunting subject. Students will be encouraged to bring photos of family, friends—even pets. We will discuss the best kinds of photos to use and how to use the ones you have even if they aren’t the best quality. There will be a model for one session, and we will try self-portraiture.

This is an interesting way to improve your skills, find some new ones, and have fun while you are at it.

Materials: A 9” x 12” pad of mixed-media paper; soft vine charcoal (willow is the best); woodless graphite pencil, 6B, 8B, or 9B (the higher the number the better); pencil sharpener; kneaded eraser. Other materials will be discussed in class, and the instructor will bring some supplies for students to try and share.

Max students: 12
