Exercises and tips on face drawing with the visual artist Marie-Hélène H-Desrue.
When we draw or paint a portrait, whether frontally or in profile, the proportions, the effect of light and shadow and the position of the head play a major role. The likeness is not only created by the drawing of the eyes, nose and mouth, but also by the distances and spaces between them.

In the workshop, the human face is examined in drawing exercises and in front of the pictures on display in the exhibition.

Material to bring along: Sketchbook or notebook, black fineliner, 6B or 8B pencil. If you wish, you can also bring a watercolor box with a tank brush (brush that can be filled with water).
