The RAL Art Center at 19 N Main Street, Kilmarnock, in conjunction with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, will offer “Portrait Drawing in Charcoal” on October 2 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Portraits can be some of the most expressive drawings. We will start by identifying the simple patterns and forms that are the basis for a well-designed portrait. During a demonstration on developing expression through form, value and line, students will find that a portrait is much more than recording proportions. Emphasis will be on creating a portrait that is an expression of the artist and the subject. Students need to bring a large photo to work from. Photos at least 8x10 are recommended. Photos taken in natural light with clear contrast are recommended. All materials are included. Members $65 / Non-Members $75 Maximum: 8 Students Students may register by contacting the RALAC at 804-436-9309. Registration and payment must be received one week before the workshop date. Due to COVID-19, all guests, students, and instructors must wear a face covering that covers your mouth and nose. Please maintain social distancing of 6 feet at all times.
