In this workshop, art lovers can learn about portraiture and experiment with drawing from life.

Contour drawing, an easy and fundamental drawing skill, will be used to explore the skull and then draw from a live model. We will have the pleasure of seeing portraits from the PAAM collection by women who have drawn and painted here over the years. All levels, completely inexperienced to advanced, are welcome. Materials provided, or you are welcome to bring your own. 

All materials provided, model fee $10.
