 Working from a variety of subjects which include plaster casts and live portrait models students will receive basic and more     advanced academic instruction in shading, contour, composition and color as it applies to portraiture to help students to   recognize and draw the subtleties of the facial features. Group and individual critiques and historical references are also   included.
