2005 Learning by Imitation


Took a class with Nancy Voitka at OCAG - portrait drawing.  We learned the basics of drawing a face by careful measurement of proportion and angles.  The class included a weekly assignment to copy a master's work - this had great value since it is one thing to look and admire a great work and an additional education to work at the recreation of the work and to deal with the issues involved - in fact share the process with the master.  One example is the sample on the left.  We also drew from models - here is my drawing of Charlotte.
