Drawing from Life with Laurel Goddard Thomas

If you find it difficult to capture on paper what you see in life, this life drawing workshop is for you! All Levels welcome.

Improving your drawing skills may be just what you need to ignite your art practice and move your work forward. In this workshop we will learn how to see and draw a three-dimensional human figure on a two-dimensional surface.

Basic anatomy will be covered as well as how to use different dry media. All skill levels are welcome.

Laurel Goddard Thomas has been drawing and painting human figures since high school. She is a graduate of the School of Fine Art at Washington University in St. Louis, MO and has spent her career working as a costume designer for stage, screen and television in Los Angeles. In recent years, her figurative art has become a more important part of her art practice, and she now works regularly with local and international models thanks to Zoom.

Her figurative work has been exhibited and collected internationally as well as all across the U.S. and Canada. She has taught life drawing at several local venues and is looking forward to helping Artist Council members learn to "see" and draw the figure.

Please bring a newsprint drawing pad, preferably 18" x 24" and charcoal. If you have questions, please email Laurel at [email protected].
