The Arthouse Oasis News
In our recent classes, we’ve been diving deep into two of the most expressive subjects an artist can tackle – hands and faces.
Starting with careful observation and proportion, students developed both portrait sketches and dynamic hand studies. From basic outlines to detailed shading, each drawing captures the subtle complexity of form, and light.
These sessions focus on building technical skill while encouraging personal expression through line and tone.
