Headspace: Painting (5 weeks) with Matt Carter

This course investigates the structure of the three-dimensional human head. It is suitable for those who have completed HeadSpace; Drawing the Structure of the Head as a continuation into painting. It is also suitable for those who wish to get straight into painting.

During the course, we will explore the linear approach as well as the mass tonal approach, and incorporate both, while being aware of the main proportions and placement of the features.
