Here’s a little video explaining why Expressive Portraits is my favorite online art class at the Seattle Artist League.
Last quarter, participants studied how to sketch a face quickly, and how to add expressive descriptions of what makes a face not just accurate, but interesting. We looked at portraits by Alice Neel, Rembrandt, Lucian Freud, David Hockney, and we were also inspired by each other’s drawings! Special thanks to League artists Mimi Tochia Boothby, Alex Walker, Anne Walker, Georgia Ward-Collings, Alexia Cameron, and Katie-Jo Keppinger for sharing their portraits.
The next Friday night Expressive Portraits (in COLOR!) class starts June 26, 2020. You can join us from anywhere in the world! (Including the same room you’ve been sitting in for the last three months.) Click here to learn more.
