Ideal for anyone interested in figure drawing or portraits. Have you ever wanted to draw or paint the human head? It's a complex subject and may seem overwhelming. However, in this class, we will cover the step-by-step process to help you get started. It’s called the ‘Loomis Method’ and was popularized in the early ’50s by the marvelous illustrator Andrew Loomis.

Working with photographs as a reference is fine, but you will need to develop a feel for the three-dimensional form, so we will be working from realistic plaster casts of the head and eventually work with a live model. This method is a must for anyone working in portraits or figure drawing. The process will help you break down major complex structures from the head and the face. It’s simple, easy, and will help get you up and running in no time! Demonstration with some lecture, students will perform hands-on studio art practice.
