In week seven, instructor Iliya Mirochnik will demonstrate how to draw an Early Renaissance bust. Using the plaster cast, you will learn to describe subtle forms and plane changes, a stylistic norm of the Early Renaissance. Iliya will show you how to identify the structure of a smooth-looking form, create block-in, and establish its shadow masses.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
