Looking at Ourselves

Date TBD - taking interest for now

Location TBD

An essential part of the program for a realist artist. We look at our reflection in the mirror to create a self portrait from life. Learning set up options, then using sight size and mass drawing - this will be an opportunity to apply the academic method in an intimate and introspective way. Self portraits have long been the means of introspection as well as a space for experimentation where the model is free and the outcome is private.
