We are excited to welcome visiting artist Laurel Stern Boeck - an award-winning artist who is known as one of the nation’s foremost Portrait Painters for a community drawing workshop. Drawing supplies will be provided or students are welcome to bring their own art (or painting) supplies. This workshop is free and RSVP is recommended to stay@campv.com to ensure we have enough space.

This class is for those who are fascinated with capturing the likeness and character of a person.

From observation of the live model, we will examine the effect of light falling on the structures and forms of the head and figure. We will go over techniques for building value to achieve realistic and nuanced complexions. Additionally we will explore the use of atmosphere and background to craft finished drawings that convey depth and dimension.

Whether you are a practicing professional, a student, or a beginner, specific information will be given to each artist individually to help them reach their personal.
