The Art of the Portrait from Life is a fast-paced, 3-hour workshop taught by Amanda Cortés. The cost is $120 plus $10 in material fees, which must be paid in cash directly to the instructor on the day of the workshop. The modeling fee is included.
The class centers on charcoal work and the goal of capturing likeness, beauty and raw emotion, transforming simple charcoal marks into portraits. It is described as hands-on and open to total beginners as well as those looking to sharpen their skills, breaking down complex proportions into actionable techniques. Participants should come ready to smudge, sketch and create a portrait.
Attendees will need to bring or purchase an 18 x 24 or 20 x 26 in clipboard, or a thin board with gator clips.
