Recent Portrait Sketches

In the full-time program at GCA, there's a weekly portrait sketch session that all current students, faculty, Resident Artists and alumni may attend. We also hold a community portrait sketch event that is open to the public. These are held once a month on Friday evenings from 6-9pm. The next one is coming up on October 28th, followed by November 18th. For more information, click here.

Portrait Sketches are single sitting poses. In our daytime program they last 4 hours and artists will "get as far as they get." These portrait sketches are often more an exercise in trying to resolve something quickly and serve as a counterbalance to the long term drawings and paintings our artists usually work on. Instructor Ted Minoff selected the following collection of recent portrait sketches that were submitted for our blog.
