Projet de cours pratique
This project focuses on capturing the essence of a portrait in a short, focused sketch session. Using vine charcoal and a loose, expressive approach, students will create a portrait that emphasizes gesture, proportion, and tonal value rather than fine detail.
The goal is to train the eye to quickly observe and respond to the subject’s structure, mood, and personality. By working within a limited time frame, students will learn to prioritize strong shapes, fluid lines, and confident mark-making—developing a sketch that feels alive and spontaneous.
This is an excellent exercise for improving observation skills, loosening up technique, and building foundational portrait drawing confidence.
