Composition for Portraiture, Intro (Patreon)

Recently I undertook a research that has changed the way I approach my own work and by extension how I teach drawing.

In a series I am going to share with you what I have learned through 3 extensive critique sessions with an artist who studied and taught at the Repin Academy in St. Petersburg. 

Here is what you will find:

• Composition- the straw that stirs the drink, so to speak.
• Artistic Selection- what you can change about what you see and how.
• The Focal Point- how to choose and emphasize the key feature of your image.
• Silhouettes and Framing- what makes shapes stand out or fade away.

I am really excited to share this course with you all. I believe the concepts and techniques you learn will truly change the way that you draw.
