Portrait Practice
Portrait Practice - details
- When? - alternate Mondays (next 8 Mar 21 12.30 - 3.30pm)
- Where? - Arts North, Judd House.
- How Much? - $3 ($1/hour???!!!)
- What to bring? - yourself!
This group comes together each fortnight on a Monday afternoon to practise drawing portraits from life - a totally different skill to that of drawing a portrait from a photograph. (If you don't appreciate the difference, try it sometime...?)
The (obviously clothed) models are the group members themselves, taking turns (usually 20 min poses).
Most work shows that some more practice is needed .... and that's what it is about!!
Total cost to members attending - $3 ( to offset rent and power! - yes, airconditioned cooling/heating)

Tried a format change to include a 'body bits' segment (about 20-25mins over several views)
First up was 'ear' (click to view) The exercise was very well received!! (Someone, please insist we do it again!?)

Spring ('16) has (sorta) sprung! Some new faces drawing and some new faces to draw (and that ubiquitous bloke with the beard!) (click images to enlarge)
