[Workshop Description] 

Artist, Zin Lim's Expressive Head Drawing workshop will be a memorable and inspiring course. 

Coming from South Korea, he will be instructing us on how to create good drawings that have emotion, rhythm, movement, and personal touch.

The instructor will share his unique direction of expressive drawing in lectures, presentations, and multiple demos from a live model. You will experiment to find a way to use your inner voice and body rhythm and make lots of short and long posed drawings.

This course is for any experienced level of artist students.

• Beginners will learn how to use charcoal medium, how to make interesting visual marks, and how to use those marks to create good figure drawings without being full of anatomic detail.
• Advanced artists will learn to break their safe zone and shift their drawing style from tight to loose.

After attending this course you will broaden your perspective of head and portrait drawing approaches, enjoy the creating process more, and get an idea for your direction for the next drawing art.

[Testimonials]

"I enjoyed it. I'm frankly very tired of doing hyper-realistic drawings - it's just not that relaxing. I think I will stick with the expressive figure drawing for a while and see if I can improve. I would be very interested in taking another class, especially expressive portraits." 

 - Michael M.

"Thank you so much for teaching this class! The majority of my drawing classes in the past have focused very much on representative. Getting to learn more expressive techniques and getting to learn from you has been so enlightening and just truly a joy. I really appreciate your time and the thoughtfulness you put into this course." 

- Katie K.

 "This was amazing, I learned so much. Most of all, that drawing in this way is much more a state of mind than I realised. Thank you Zin!”
