Portrait Drawing with Nate Seay
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Join us for an immersive exploration of portrait drawing, based upon the methods of 19th-century French ateliers. Guided by artist and instructor Nathan Seay, this workshop offers a structured approach to capturing the human likeness, with a strong emphasis on proportion, anatomy, facial structure, and the subtle nuances that bring a portrait to life.
Participants will engage in detailed demonstrations, receive individualized feedback, and work from extended portrait poses to deepen their understanding of form and expression. Designed for artists who wish to build a solid foundation or refine their portrait skills, this workshop fosters a focused, supportive environment rooted in time-tested techniques.
