Do you want to improve your face drawing skills, or just want to impress your parents and friends? Then you have come to the right place. This class discusses how to draw any face, but not in the method that leaves you with the very specific skill of drawing Beyonce with a 6B graphite pencil. We are talking ANY FACE! (That includes Beyonce if you like.) The class includes: breaking the face down into basic shapes, arranging the shapes to make faces from you imagination, learning basic facial anatomy, refining the shapes to look more specific to the person you are drawing, and finally being able to draw whatever face you want in whatever style you prefer.

Hi there, my name is Suzanne Allard, I’m an abstract and floral painter as well as a creativity teacher. If you ever feel the urge to create that’s because you were born to create or that feeling wouldn’t be there. Even if you are scared or don’t think you have “talent,” that urge and desire means that you have the capacity to create. You just need the right, non-judgmental environment in which to do so. This class is perfect for loosening up, making marks and shapes with color and seeing where that takes us. We will work on two different abstract styles that have lots of white space (blank paper). Let’s set your creative spirit free!
