INSTRUCTION: Demos and on the easel critiques.ĬLASS HOURS: 9am to 4pm with lunch at 12 noon. **If you are taking the class for 5 days only, you must choose either week one or week two Students will focus on the fundamentals of drawing the human head while developing new skills in pastel. The core of the lesson will be based on drawing, values, edges, composition and creating life-like skin tone color. This workshop is designed to create a relaxed, informative, yet focused working environment for all skill levels. Demonstrations and individual attention will be emphasized, enabling each student to produce a finished drawing by workshop completion. From there, we will focus on developing a likeness from the model by learning to interpret what we see–simplifying the features and focusing on basic shapes and forms as described by masses of color, plus light and shadow. The remainder of the ten-day workshop will continue with instruction on the proportions of the head from basic line to more advanced anatomical study. Students will do some exercises on how to apply pastels on sanded paper to create realistic skin-tones. The first day of the workshop will be an orientation to all materials involved and a complete demonstration of the process of painting the head from a live model. Students will learn to use an approach that helps them see the big shapes first, and then go into details towards the end of the session. This workshop will feature live model and/or photos references, and Cuong will demonstrate his own techniques to draw from life or photo using soft pastels and pastel pencils.
