PILOT - Partnered Portraiture Drawing Class
PILOT - Partnered Portraiture Drawing Class
Sunday, June 8th (4pm-7pm), 2025
Welcome guinea pigs, to the partnered portraiture pilot! I cannot thank you enough for taking time out of your weekend and full deep diving into a new venture with me. All materials will be provided unless you want the opportunity to bring your own. I ask that as we explore the day together to think critically about the experience and the quality of instruction. For those that might not know, I am taking this pilot to the Cederburg Cultural Center and teaching drawn portraits in an official capacity. As I have never done this ;) that’s where you all come in to save the day. I look forward to working out any issues in class flow, structure, project, etc. etc.

Class Description:
This class is designed for individuals that already have a basic understanding of drawing from a still life (i.e. line making and basic shading). This class is recommended for ages 18+. Please e-mail arttaysia.llc@gmail.com with any questions.
Looking to embellish your blossoming drawing skills with the personality and character of the human face? Grab a friend, a partner, family member or commandeer a mirror and join us for a fun filled lesson. Learn to navigate the face with “bony landmarks” and general underlying anatomy. Put these skills to use bringing forth the likeness of your counterpart or yourself. Some drawing experience recommended (basic understanding of shading, linework and observation from still lifes). The Space for the Pilot:
This class is hosted at a residential address in Waukesha, WI; in a basement studio. Please be respectful of the first floor. Address will be e-mailed to participants upon confirmation of payment/participation along with parking instructions.
Can Be Cold: It is in a basement so please dress in layers for comfort.
Learning Objectives:
Anatomical focus on identifying “Bony Landmarks” in the face.
General understanding of basic human anatomical structure for the purpose of rendering the human form
Understanding shadows and highlights with charcoal over graphite.
