Summary

This class offers artists the opportunity to develop their skills in drawing the human form through direct observation of live models. Each session will explore proportion, gesture, anatomy, and composition, with an emphasis on capturing the structure and expression of the figure and face. Students will work with a variety of drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, and pastel. Demonstrations, short warm-up poses, and longer studies will help participants refine both technical ability and personal style. All levels are welcome—from beginners eager to learn the fundamentals to experienced artists wishing to strengthen their figure and portrait drawing practice!
