In this two-day
workshop, participants will have hands on practice in drawing caricatures- is a portrait that exaggerates
or distorts the essence of a person or thing. Caricatures can be insulting or
complimentary and are commonly used in editorial cartoons. It is actually quite an ancient art form and some of
the earliest examples are found in the works of Leonardo da Vinci. You'll
learn the basics of caricature- how to invent humorous characters, capture an
expression, draw bodies for personality types and when to simplify or
exaggerate. Sign up today and have lots of fun without the pressure of
still-life drawing!
