Portrait Sketching

Description Join master artist, Stuart Loughridge, as he develops a beautiful portrait sketch through a process that he breaks down into three easy to manage stages and materials. With readily available materials like graphite pencils and watercolors, he will show you how to layer each medium on top of each other to create depth and interest. It’s a quick way of portrait sketching, each stage roughly taking 20 minutes or so, that allows you to not only travel easily with the materials but build up a portfolio of portraits of family and friends in no time. Stuart will take you through each stage slowly and methodically as he explains his decision-making to take a complex subject like a portrait of a young woman into easy to manage lines and values. Follow along as you get ready to start creating your own beautiful portraits!
