June 2023
Sunday, June 4, 2023, 10am – 2pm. Portrait Drawing Workshop with Eric March at the Eli Whitney Museum, Carter Studio, Hamden. Eric March is a painter and draftsman whose work explores the formal possibilities of realism with themes of urban life, urban environments, and personal narrative-often through dense multi-figural compositions. Eric served as the Department Head of the Painting and Drawing Department at the National Academy School in NY. He currently teaches at the Art Students League (NYC) and Creative Arts Workshop (New Haven).
Learn how to see a portrait as a collection of simple value shapes that come together to communicate form, features and character. In this class you’ll be guided on a step-by-step process to translate the sometimes confounding complexity of a three dimensional head into a set of flat graphic shapes on paper.
The workshop is suitable for both beginning and more experienced portrait artists. To register, click the LINK here and complete the form.
