Snapshots from the

Roy Paschal Workshop

January 21-22, 2012

Drawing and painting the face is hard, really hard. However, it can be made easier and that is what this workshop sets out to do. I created this workshop from years of banging my head against a wall and trying to understand why my artwork just didn't look right.

The good news here is that all of those years of work finally paid off. Not only can I draw a human face quicker and more reliably than before but I can teach you.

This workshop is filled with quick, spontaneous schematic drawings to help you understand the form of the human face and how the architecture of planes all work together. It also includes mini-lectures to help you understand the terminology of facial anatomy. Most importantly, though, it walks you step-by-step through the process of drawing and painting the face.

In this workshop, students will be exposed to the entire process of drawing and painting the human face. The sessions will include a full demonstration of techniques and concepts necessary to this endeavor. The sessions will consist of drawing to establish accurate shapes, proportions, likeness and structure. There will be a discussion of flesh tones and their application.
Beginning to advanced artists are welcome.
