Drawing THE HUMAN FIGURE from the Masters - (WTD72-1230) dibujofranco

Every week, same day same time, we are drawing THE HUMAN FIGURE based on past achievements, a whole body or details (i.e. portraits, hands, feet). There is a brief explanation to start, some tips of what to focus on, to help construct the figure.
Our models and objects of study are drawings, paintings and sculptures from past centuries in a tutored class. Usually we draw two or three different images and poses, with different lengths of time.

------------------------------
Again, you can get the class for one hour or two. The value is $9 for one hour class and $15.- if you want to attend the whole class for 2-hours .

If you choose to attend only one hour, the schedule is like this:
First hour - several 5 to 15 minute sketches
Second hour of the class - one longer study of about 40 minutes

You choose when checking out.

------------------------------------------

Depeding on the class, we may be trying different materials or ways to approach the female and male figures.

If you are a beginning student I suggest using willow charcoal or 6B graphite pencil/stick to start and A3 size (29,7 x 42,0 cm // 11.7 x 16.5 in) papers on a hard surface as a drawingboard, an eraser (kneadead and/or regular rubber for pencil), a piece of cotton fabric to clean and a sharpener. If you draw with charcoal, you need a fixative when it's finished. Later we'll see other options. If you are more experienced, you can choose the materials you want to work with, though (i.e. ink applied with brush and nib, fountain pen, etc).

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Before doing our own great drawings or paintings we need to study what the artists that came before us did in the past, those wonderful pieces teach us big lessons, so let's learn from the masters and their artwork.

- --------------------------------------------

WAYS TO DRAW and Paint are a series of art classes online, especially for beginning + intermediate students and anyone who wants to learn different ways of drawing and painting, since there isn't only one, as there isn't only one way to do things in life. In each class we will be experimenting with different subjects and media: (i.e. graphite, colored pencils , pastels, charcoal, ball and fountain pens, markers, gouache, acrylics, etc.)

The classes contents are never repeated. They are live on Zoom. They are in English but some Spanish can be spoken too.
